Pretty annoying, but not unexpected. Showed up an hour before my flight, Centurion lounge is still closing at 5pm (can't understand some of these location hours), Escape closes at 8, there is an hour plus waitlist to get in. Pop over to the AC, of course they close at 4pm and 7pm so only 30 minutes. Can't understand why AX won't create a digital waitlist, at least when you check-in or in general to help gauge if its even worth going over. Pretty frustrating the amount of traffic PHX has had for over a year and capacity is still significantly controlled across all lounges, the AX and Escape alone aren't big enough with the restrictions, and closing one early is still irritating.
