I did not see any signage on a recent Sunday (6/12/22) trip that said passes weren't honored, but the B/C lounge was packed, with people sitting on the floor (usually younger traveling with others). The Centurion lounge, at the same time, had about a 30 minute wait, but seemed to go much quicker once getting on their list. No idea how the F club was.

Lounge visits are not a requirement. Explore the many art exhibits or browse the lending library.

I am flying from BCN to PHL next month in Flagship business and was hoping to take a shower before my connecting flight to PHX but it does not appear the Admirals Club in B/C has showers and I don't believe I am eligible for entry to the BA club in A so it looks like no shower for me. . Anything I am missing?

Terminal F Admiral Club now offering mandarin sesame chicken with a side of rice. (shredded chicken, thin sauce).
Bbq pork was better IMHO

The new chicken dish is god awful. I was hoping it was simply a one-off when I arrived at BOS and stopped into the B club last Tuesday, but upon returning to PHL, I found it was being served there, too. So disgusting. I actually really liked the pork.

I had the sesame chicken at the HK Admirals Club at O'hare at the need of June. The BBQ pulled chicken which it replaced was infinitely better.

Maybe I have really bad taste, but I had the sesame chicken today and I thought it was pretty good, especially if you dress it up with the toppings:
Got here just after 12 and the lounge was very pleasant, started picking up closer to to 3. Awesome staff at the desk. No guac bar—has it been gone for a while?

Guac bars are still around, but only late afternoons. Typically something like between 4-7pm, though that varies by location and the whims of staffing.

For what it’s worth — BA lounge now has hot food back (it didn’t in May), though it seems to have traded Piper for Chandon sparkling.
Was not given any grief when presenting an inbound AA international Biz / EXP boarding pass. (I was even armed with the OW page to outline why I should be granted access
