United is testing takeout for food and beverages

United Airlines is testing a new lounge product at Denver Airport. This is aimed at passengers who, due to time constraints, only want to take a drink, snack or coffee with them. A new product is now being offered under the name “United Club FlySM”.

“United Club Fly is all about convenience. The new format is designed for time-pressed members who want to use our clubs for a quick drink or snack without sacrificing an upscale club environment,” said Luc Bondar, Marketing & Loyalty VP and MileagePlus President. "Denver, where more than two-thirds of our customers use connecting flights, is the ideal place to launch the new concept."

After scanning their boarding pass, passengers can take drinks and snacks such as sandwiches, salads, wraps, yoghurt, vegetables and fruit with them. Refilling reusable water bottles is also possible.
