Seatback TVs!

DFW C at 6:15 tonight.

No guac, mac & cheese, nor soup. Only the cold offerings were out in front of the soda dispenser. Sad!

I'm really hoping they catered enough sandwiches to go around on my flight back to the Bay Area.

About to head to HNL. Too bad the club is closed there considering restaurants are open here. I have a few hours to kill. I’ll guess I’ll find a place to get an over priced beer at.

Presumably they need to add "marketed and operated by jetBlue" as an exception for folks that are not flying on the codeshare.

I do wonder if jetBlue will start paying for lounge access for Mint -- the fact they don't really have a lounge they can use in JFK or BOS makes it odd to offer AC access in SFO and LAX but not on the east coast.

As an Admirals Club member who's typically flying AA, I'll appreciate being able to use the Admirals Club on the rare occasion when I'm flying B6.

Former Flagship Lounge is now open at MIA D30 as overflow space. Quiet area and buffet area are blocked off, same cheese, hummus etc. as on offer in the AC. It's Spring Break, and MIA is very busy, maybe for the first time since pre-pandemic.

FWIW, this has been the case for months. I've seen the MIA FL spaces open (as AC overflow) going back as far as November during peak travel times. It would be nice if the D15 AC was also reopened. My last few visits to the MIA AC have been completely packed (both with and without the FL portion opened).

Agreed on D15. D30 is getting pretty crowded and it's pretty far from those low D gates. Also the CL closes at 7 PM so it would be really nice having a second lounge down there, especially at night.

Do I have access if I'm flying JFK-CUN in F on Friday? I remember hearing that Mexico flights get access now?

It starts April 1, and it's potentially a "limited time" offer. All international + PR + USVI premium cabin travel will get AC.

Agreed, it's gotten so crowded we have been going to the Centurion instead. I will say that even when they're crowded, the service staff is usually quick to keep up pace.

LAX T4 Flagship Lounge is open!! Well, sort of open.

Traffic must be up noticeably. I was there Thursday morning (4/1) to find that AA had opened up the entire Flagship Lounge (excluding FFD) as an extension of the regular Admirals Club.
Lots of great new seating room and spacing now. Though no change in food and/or bar offerings.

SFO777 did they give you premium drink chits now that the flagship lounge is open? I'll have to see what's up at DFW's terminal D flagship lounge.

No premium drink chits offered. I forgot to ask about them so not really sure what the situation is. FWIW, I credited the flight to BA so my OWE status was on my record.

It's not open. It's just overflow space for the Admirals Club.
Does anyone know if the ORD Admirals Club H/K remains open? It was recently cited for health code violations.
