I was at the AC at SNA for the first time Friday. Only a few people there but very nice staff. They had the same soup I loved two days earlier but definitely watered down too much. Someone wasn't following instructions on the Sodexo bag!

- If you grew up with Campbell's condensed soup, habit would be that you always added water or milk to any soup!

Was at the ORD AC a few weeks ago, had the very basic self serve offerings of hummus/pita, salad cup, fruit, vegetables, ranch dressing packs, packed cookies/brownies and cheese/crackers. Coke Freestyle machine and coffee machine were also self serve and functioning. At the bar they had soup (I think potato) available and then a couple hours later they set up guac bar. Paid food available as well.
While a far cry from normal times it was infinitely better than waiting in the terminal.

Checked out the MIA AC earlier today (2/21) around 1700.
Place was hopping, with FL partially open as an overflow.
Still very limited offerings.
Self-service included mixed salad, pita chips w/hummus, and very tiny rice crispy treat squares.
The guacamole station seemed to be the showstopper.
Let’s be honest, the food offerings at AC’s even pre-COVID were never that satisfying nor amazing, but things seem to be returning to baseline.

MIA has the guac bar going, and many servers will bring food to your table if you order from the bar even during busy hours (same with CLT). Nice touch. They also had a larger menu than what was on offer at JFK, although I wonder if that changed system-wide?
Not sure if MIA is doing the same, but JFK was selling Krug for `~$70 per 375ml bottle last week, although I'm not sure if that was a Valentine's Day-only thing. Also the little rice crispy bars and fudge brownies are wildly addicting, although I recognize these are not hot food items.

on the AA app it says the AC in terminal B at DFW is not serving food only acting as a service center. However an email I received from AA a few weeks ago lists all DFW AC's open for snacks and beverages.
Can anyone confirm this for B? Thanks

I was at LAX two weeks ago and the AC was surprisingly full so they opened up the former dining area in the FL for overflow... was definitely a bit sad to see the former F&B area all cleared out.

The B cub has been open with the same F&B amenities as the other clubs at DFW for many months. I actually prefer that club and will swing over there if I have anything in/out of B or D.
