Concourse B near Gate B18, Terminal 1

[Find your airline](https://ordairportguide.com/airlines/): Concourse, check-in counters, bag claim and where to park, for every airline here.

O’Hare has five United Clubs, all past security: three in Terminal 1 and two in Terminal 2. Your concourse decides which one to use, and Concourse B has two.

| Your concourse | Club | Hours, daily | Clear security at |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| B | Terminal 1, near Gate B6 or B18 | B6 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., B18 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. | Checkpoint 1, 2 or 3 |
| C | Terminal 1, near Gate C10 | 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. | Checkpoint 1, 2 or 3 |
| E | Terminal 2, near Gate E7 | 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. | Checkpoint 5 |
| F | Terminal 2, near Gate F9 | 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. | Checkpoint 5 |

The hours come from the airport’s terminal map. The airport publishes no walking times from a gate to its club.

## Gate ranges and the Polaris Lounge

Concourse B runs from Gate B1 to B24 and Concourse C from C1 to C31. Concourse E runs from Gate E1 to E17 and Concourse F from F1 to F28. The United Polaris Lounge, near Gate C18, admits international first and business class customers only.

## Who gets in, and what the airport doesn’t publish

United Club members and eligible United customers can use all five clubs. The airport’s lounge page says travelers without a membership may buy day passes for most of the clubs. It doesn’t say which clubs, what a pass costs or how to get one. Its terminal map adds a line for the Club at Gate B6 only: “Approach our friendly lounge staff for purchasable access (subject to availability).” The airport lists one phone number for the clubs, (866) 822-5827, and no other contact.

## Coming from another terminal

From Terminal 3 you can walk to all five on the secure side, because Terminals 1, 2 and 3 join there.

From Terminal 5 you can’t walk. The [Terminal Transfer Bus](https://ordairportguide.com/transport/terminal-transfer-bus/) keeps you on the secure side. It runs every 15 minutes from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. It is for connecting passengers only, so you need a boarding pass for a same-day flight from the terminal you’re riding to. Its Terminal 1 stop is Gate C18B in Concourse C. It has no Terminal 2 stop, so for the clubs at Gates E7 and F9 you ride to Terminal 1 or 3 and walk the rest.

Outside the bus hours, the airport says you exit security, board the [Airport Transit System](https://ordairportguide.com/transport/airport-transit-system/) and get rescreened at a TSA checkpoint.
