When is AA going to move to concourse A? They still show all of their flights departing from concourse C...
I've never been to the Admirals Club, but is it bigger than the President's Club? The last time I visited the PC, I was amazed at how small it is...

I'd say it's about the same size. It has a main seating area, bar area, and a pair of computers as well as the front desk and some luggage storage areas. Unlike the CO lounge there are windows overlooking the tarmac though which is a plus.

For those visiting the CO PC it should be noted that the lounge was originally slated to be twice the size that it currently is. CO once had a DEN hub and when DIA I was CO planned to have a large operation there than they do now. Several Airlines and the USO use the other side fo the lounge that CO doesn't use. LH is slated to take over the CO PC in the near future (my rumor sources say).

It's far more likely that F9/YX would establish a relationship with Skyteam beyond the present YX/DL arrangement.

Well I guess that idea is out the window now as much as I would have liked it. I rather doubt that there is room in *A - they already have 3 major domestic carriers. AA seems to opening up to the idea of a domestic partner with the Jet Blue thing but I suspect the 'new' Republic will have to go it alone.

The Best Care Club at MKE is remaining. Why not open a club at DEN? Stay tuned, we may get surprised at next weeks announcement.

I'd assume that any club is revenue / profit positive, not a pure expense? Anyone got any knowledge of other more advanced club finances? Haven't heard of AA, UA, etc closing all but the most senseless clubs in these times. Input FT'rs?
I'd consider joining, espec if I could use miles to pay.

I see its on today's Midwest email - I wonder how it will go down. Rumor was that AA was taking the slice CO just left from the old PC.
Either way - congrats to the Denver flyers. You're getting one of the best clubs out there!

I believe Frontier will be using the former British Airways Terrace space for the Best Care Club.

Wherever it goes, everyone wins.
In the past people complained about paying the annual fee with access to only one club. Now, there will be a second. Stay tuned and see what the new partner agreement brings.

As we look at the new options for a club on Concourse A at DEN, unless one spent a lot of time at or connecting at MKE, what would be the incentive for a frequent flyer to get a BCC membership with one other location versus an Admirals Club membership with 40 other locations?
Irregular ops help on Frontier would be about it. BCC might cost less.

The Best Care Club fees are notably less expensive than the big airlines with many more locations
BCC
$250 annual single / $400 annual with spouse
$600 three-year single / $900 three-year with spouse
I checked out AA and DL and both are pretty similar. This is AA
$450 annual single / $775 annual with spouse
I don't see a three-year option on AA, but here's DL
$1215 three-year single / $1815 three-year with spouse
Obviously the bigger programs should cost more because the opportunity to use the club is more plentiful. But on the other hand, a club is only useful if:
--The member is actually flying, and
--The member is departing or connecting in an airport with a club, and
--The amount of time spent at the departing or connecting airport is sufficient to visit the club
If I don’t fly much to Austin or Dulles or Toronto, it doesn’t help me that there are AA clubs there. By only having clubs in MKE and DEN, clearly the BCC program is of no real use for people who rarely are in MKE or DEN. But for people who are, the value of the membership could be significant.
Club membership is really most useful when there is a club in your departing airport. If you finish business early and arrive at the airport with time to kill, or security was 5 minutes instead of 55 minutes, that’s a great opportunity to use the club.
It can sometimes be useful at the connecting hub, but not necessarily as often as one might think. Connections for airlines which bank their hubs are often too short to get any reasonable value out of seeking out and trekking to a club. And in the case of delays caused by mechanical, weather or ATC reasons, it’s often dangerous to venture too far away from the gate. That’s especially at a connecting hub where there are more resources, and delays are often more unpredictable in duration.
So having a BCC is probably most useful for travelers based in DEN and MKE. Having it in the “other” main hub is somewhat helpful because DEN based F9 people are probably seeing more of Milwaukee now, and vice versa for MKE based people. I doubt there’s all that much value for the average person based in Phoenix or Philadelphia or Dallas unless they do a lot of travel to and through DEN and or MKE.
