Especially after a red-eye flight, one appreciates a SC, for instance if one has slept through the "breakfast" served on board. Of course, it's nicer if the SC showers are open too.
I'm one of those people who arrived on a redeye from LAX scheduled for 5:34 am, but arriving 10 minutes early. No SkyClubs open.
And Monday morning, I'm on the redeye arriving from SLC at 525 am. Maybe it will take a long time to find a gate?
The SkyClub at RDU opens at 4 am, but the first flight out is at 5:25 I think.
