I just flew United Business last month from Chicago to London, and yes — the ticket included access to the United Polaris Lounge at O’Hare. Honestly, it was one of the best parts of the trip: great food, showers, and a much calmer vibe before boarding. One thing I learned the hard way, though, is that if you change or cancel your flight, the lounge access is tied to the fare class you rebook into. When I had to shift my return date, I called 877-297-0699 — way faster than messing around online. They reissued my ticket in business, and lounge access carried over without a problem. So as long as you’re still in business class on an eligible international route, you should be good to go.
