No, but a carrier does need a decent volume of traffic ti justify a club and AA gave up on DTW long ago. After Delta, the biggest operating carriers at DTW are Skywest, Spirit, Endeavor, and Southwest. AA and its RJ carriers get dumped into the less-than-20% 'other'.

DEN is a joint club with BA, which changes the economics some.

This list of clubs and stations with their flight statistics is from June 2017. Looks like Vegas has only 1 other airport busier than it without an Admirals Club: Columbus/CMH

Overall the thread was about a possible club in Vegas
Speculation: Any plans for LAS / Vegas Admirals Club?

One thing on DTW, although it is 38 daily, only CLT and DFW get more than 1 mainline
5x DFW (5x 738)
7x ORD (1x 319, 6x CR7)
6x LGA (5x E135, 1xE75)
5x CLT (2x 319, 1x E75, 1x CR9)
4x PHL (1x 319, 1x E75, 1x CR7, 1x E145)
3x DCA (1x E75, 1x CR9, 1x CR7)
2x MIA (1x 319, 1z 738)
2x PHX (1x 319, 1x 320)

Compare to say AUS which is lower count, but with a club
11x DFW mix of 32S and 738
8x CLT mix of 319, 320, 321
4x ORD all 738
4x MIA (3x 738, 1x 319)
3x LAX 738 or 321
3x PHX 319 or 320
2x JFK 738
2x PHL E190

Um no, SNA has had an AC for as long as I have flown out of it which began in 1997. HP never had a lounge at SNA, the only lounges at SNA have been UA and AA and both are still there.

Yes it did. The SNA America West Club opened in 1990 concurrent with the (then) new terminal. It is now the AC.

HP had out station clubs in HNL, SNA, and LAX. SNA lasted til about 96. That was about the same time that Parker showed up and started chopping things.

Currently sitting inn the "food court" near Gate 30 @DTW. While it'd be great to be sitting in an A/C I just don't see the value in putting one in from AA's standpoint. Been here a lot over the last 18 months and there just isn't the base to support it.

I do travel to DTW quite a bit, so from a personal standpoint I'd love to have an AC there. But I can't imagine the economics would justify it unless BA returned to the market. The LH lounge is laughable foodwise for the hours its open to PP members.

Travelers to DTW tip -- go to National Coney Island. Order a hani sandwich and cheese fries. Thank me later. And then call your cardiologist.
