Admirals and US Club changes, closures, consolidations etc. (Master Thread)
Please edit/add to this Wikipost with any done, confirmed, announced or pending Admirals Club changes
(not wishful, speculative or possible changes).
LOCATIONS, CLOSURES, CONSOLIDATIONS Etc.
All US Airways Clubs have been rebranded as Admirals Clubs.
Admirals Clubs are following US Airways Club tradition of serving soup.
AA- US "exchange" programs have been implemented at some Clubs so both AA and US Club users can be assisted by redeployed "AAngels" with computers (e.g. DFW Clubs now have US assistance counters and personnel).
ATL: Concourse T Admirals Club only staffed by AA personnel, no computer system installed to allow assisting US pax. (11/22/2014)
BUF: 2015, changed to November, BUF / Buffalo a Club to close.
DCA: US Airways Club in t-B rebadged as Admirals Club. Member dtremit says "To be clear, the small US club in the "B/C" pier (formerly a UA club) was closed and consolidated into the adjacent AC. The large US club on the "C" pier is still open."
DFW: Admirals Clubs now have "out stationed" US personnel for assistance.
GRU: Admirals Club closed for renovations beginning December 1, 2014 as construction of a new club in Terminal 3 begins. New AC is expected to open in 2015. AC Members may use the GRU Executive Club in T3 until the new AC opens.
LAX: US Airways Club closed. AS lounge in T6 (near US gates) now available for AC members, transcon premium cabin ticket holders on AA or US, and under oneworld access rules when flying US or AA.
PHL US Airways B/C Club rebadged, has AA Personnel available, at least weekday mornings until 10am (not sure about after this time frame). In A-East, Admirals Club opened, has US Personnel available.
RDU: US Airways Club closed.
SJU: The Admirals Club® lounge at San Juan Luis Muñoz Marin International (SJU) permanently closed 30 Dec 2015.

It is more of a 'fun' exercise. So no real rules. Maybe the rule should be at least a 1 year absence, verses a close and move.
From what I read, Atlanta is currently closed and will be moved to the T terminal. Expected to come back later this year.
DFW had a RCC and a PC. I believe both closed and re-opened in a new location as a UC.

A bizzare one that probably doesn't quite fit the criteria but fun to point out is the Admirals Club at PHL. It used to be pre-security. Closed in 2011 and "merged" with the BA club and was essentially just a shared space. Then in March 2014 they opened as a stand-alone AC in terminal A East (nearly a year after they announced the US/AA merger, when there were already 3 US clubs at PHL)

I'm flying tomorrow morning so I'll pass it along. Will have 1.5 hours to kill so was hoping it's still open. It's sad, used to spend a lot of time there as a US CP, was a great staff and nice place to wait.

Well in speaking with the ladies in the AC today, they indicated a number of local businesses are petitioning AA to reconsider their decision. No way to know for sure but my take is its not dead yet.

Seems AA is pretty confident the BUF club will close...
For my flight tomorrow...
Clubs and lounges: Not available
(in BUF)
The ladies said Nov last week when I was there, so I hope it will be open tomorrow.
I will report back.

New York JFK:
B-10 Club is closed for refurbishment, possibly until 2017. (Flagship Lounge remains open.)
A small temporary Club "with limited seating and amenities" has been opened in the interim.
The Concourse C Club near C-42 is open.
