Pretty sure u can buy one at the desk.
OR just buy a refundable Int’l First Class ticket, and go take your shower.

Thanks bcg. Appreciate the advice. Change of plans got an email from the client. Looks like they are sick...

funny

I went in and asked for a day pass they told me I could only do that at a regular lounge. The buying a refundable ticket is a great idea though. Is there any possibility that it would not work and I’d be stuck with the flight? Does it break the terms of agreement if you check into a lounge and then try to get a refund

It is a violation of the terms, the question is if they care if you do it once. That said there was some Chinese dude who did it very regularly with another airline and he eventually got sued for theft or service

As you found out, the Polaris Lounges have a very strict access policy. No one time passes. You must be flying in international business or first class on UA/*A to a country that’s listed as eligible (essentially excluding Canada/Mexico/Caribbean/Central America/Northern South America). The only slight exception is for GS and I can’t even remember exactly what it was, it’s still pretty restrictive
