That's one twisted world, but it could be useful for me.

In normal cases, the consumption of outside food & beverages is prohibited in any AC. ( general rules )
I have seen this policy being applied at some locations and I have had occasions that I noticed club agents that didn't care.

That rule has been gone for ages. Like the last recession....

Visited the reopened RDU AC yesterday;
I was wondering if they'd use the down time to renovate the club, it's one of the few that looks as it did pre-merger, but it's still the same
In addition to packaged bagels, muffins, eggs, cereal and yogurt there was a hot container of scrambled eggs at the bar. It's great having my hub club back.

Flew yesterday (17-Dec) and LAX Admirals Club T4 still closed with to-go bags of chips and cookies, plus coffee. They made it sound like the closure will last for quite some time due to local health restrictions (into January, anyway). Terminal does have a decent amount of vendors operating compared to my last trip so there are other food options available for purchase.

I noticed MIA D30 has salads and dressing this week. Another positive step.

good to see some improvements there. And the poster above about the outside food must be flying too much Delta these days - they sure are nazis around outside food, but AA has not cared at all in the last 7-10 years

You can also still order food and drink at the bar (what else is the incidental fee credit useful for these days?) and consume it in the club.

The AC in the old flagship lounge at jfk has avocado toast and a scrambled eggs bar, but they closed it at 8:30am today—seems a bit early but there’s barely any flights here so I guess that makes sense. Lounge is mostly empty.

That’s right when the 9am to LAX starts boarding so I wonder if it’s timed that way because of that?
