Landed in DFW yesterday on my way to work in Mississippi. Was met by the CK rep with an offer, via electric cart, to shuttle from D to B , or if I needed anything during my 4hr layover. (Love that service for EP’s during COVID btw, it’s definitely appreciated.) declined, but asked and he confirmed A, C AC’s will be opening in DFW on 22 June. B & D as business picks up? It’s 3 weeks, and I’ve got 3 more trips through DFW, before then. But the good news more restaurants are opening. I never stopped flying so I can make the 3 weeks work. Just hope SNA’s opens on the 22nd also. Side note: For a Saturday it was definitely busier in all the terminals than some recent weekdays. Encouraging. Cheers!

Has anyone received any actual communication from AA? So far I've seen nothing official. I'm not discounting what's been said (it was the MIA AC staff that originally tipped me off that a decision was made to close the ACs) but I'd like to see something official from AA.

I just stopped by the LGA AC to check on things....they have no clue when they’re re-opening because it’s dependent on the local health dept I was told....they said they hope soon in the next couple of weeks
How can DL have their LGA club open but AA can’t if it’s really the health department holding things up?

Please read the Wikipost for Admirals Club reopening as of 22 June 2020. Note some Clubs will initially open only as travel service centers, and all reopening a Clubs will open with modifications to minimize risk of COVID-19.

Any announced extensions of Club Memberships?
I have an Admirals Club Membership, which expires on July 17. As everyone knows, this membership has been useless since March. Has there been any consideration for loss of use?

Delaying New York I get, but I'm surprised LAX and Phoenix are not on the list. But they were sort of sardine cans. I guess trying to start at 100% makes little sense.
Not to mention what will food service look like?
But I'm old enough to be high risk, and my spouse is talking up long-distance driving for the first time in years. So you all can work the bugs out for me.
