My experience this past couple weeks tells me in many cities, unless you travel during a tiny window, these are now worth nothing more than crackers and alcohol. No cheese, no cookies, No snack mix, no nothing. Delta did the "combine" and then chopped them down to nothing.
If I just wanted self serve alcohol, cool. But that's not what I look for...this seriously devalued the AS partnership with their clubs!

The Deltoids, especially the NW flyers, are not pleased at all about the changes at all. Complaints have been answered with "sorry, this is the way forward, have some miles".

"Off peak" at SEA and SLC Skyclub ... biscoff cookies, pretzel mix, wasabi mix (SLC had dried fruit mix also). I don't recall the old Crown Rooms as having had much more - crackers/cheese and cookies perhaps?

BOS is an upgrade since switching from US to DL terminal. At least there is free drinks in Sky CLub while you had to pay in teh US club (Before the liquor license went away)
Yea DL Sky club offerings arent very good

I travel SEA - BOS a couple of times a year, and BOS has been The Black Hole of Lounges for me.
Until this year, I've been paid F with a Priority Pass - no joy with US Air Club. Then, this year, that one becomes eligible, but ... AS switched terminals a couple of days before my first '09 trip; I ran late the first time anyway, so decided against paying $27 for either DL or CO clubs @ A for barely 30 mins until boarding. Second time through, DL had just ditched Priority Pass, I had just made AS Gold, planning on joining the BR (sans initiation fee) on my next visit. I PP'ed the CO club, which wasn't a bad experience.
I don't mind access w/o booze if I'm going to be flying F anyway - the UA club in EWR was a true oasis compared with the cramped terminal madhouse!
