Polaris upgrade (EDI to IAD)

[Anonymous]

First timer for Polaris. Is there any club at EDI where I can use this Polaris ticket for entry? (Yes, I’m trying to look it up but internet is awful on this train).

I just flew that flight in August (United). The airport is small, and sort of works like a train station in that you won't know your specific gate (but will know your terminal) until close to boarding. It's a strange set up. Basically you go to the international terminal, and watch the board for it announce what gate. I don't remember seeing any lounges there. Just lots of restaurants and benches.

Security takes a long time BTW. And if it gets too crowded in the line, they cut off the line and stop letting people in, which causes a huge back log. So give yourself extra time.

This except there are at least 2 lounges at EDI. Go early as security gets backed up. Terminal is remarkably small for how busy it is.
