Steve, I'm sure the fine-print legal text agrees with you. But the Clubs are marketed heavily as being there when you need them, wherever you need them. Now they are yanking them even though there are paying members knocking at the door.

The reason they are closing the clubs is to cut payroll costs. They don't get a break on airport rental fees since those are on long-term leases. So the airlines are screwing us again just to save a few dollars on payroll even though we have already paid for the service in advance.
