United Airlines Opens Largest-Ever Airport Lounge at Houston Hub
United Airlines (UAL) is launching its largest airport lounge to date at George Bush Intercontinental Airport's Terminal B in Houston. The 54,000-square-foot facility can accommodate 800 passengers and features amenities such as an outdoor terrace, two full-service bars, and buffet services. The expansion is part of a broader $2.6 billion overhaul at the Houston hub, which includes the addition of 22 mainline aircraft gates. This move reflects a wider industry trend where major carriers like American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Southwest Airlines are investing heavily in premium lounge infrastructure to cater to high-spending elite frequent flyers and co-branded credit card holders.
