. Is it an alcohol sale, if given free as part of the membership benefits? I guess not..

Alternatively, if you are paying for an AC membership, you have already prepaid for your drinks. Again, not "free!"James

It is being reported: Premium drinks - one might assume this includes bottles of water - are not available with chits or boarding pass any more. Premium drinks are sold only, and well drinks are still free. Yet another benefit thrown out with the bath water.

Redeye PHX-MIA . . . PHX club at A7 has posted hours of 8 am to 5 pm - yeah missed that by about six hours. At MIA D30 now, lots of space, certainly better than hanging out in the shopping mall, I mean terminal.

Meanwhile go take a look at what the Delta SkyClubs are offering in the DL forum.....seems like gourmet cuisine compared to AA clubs :/
Between the DL SC (of which I’m a paying member too), inflight now serving wine in FC & C+ and middle seat blocking I might be giving DL my business for a while now over AA.

It seems like in some clubs, you go to the bar and pick up drinks while in others, servers bring them to you. Is that accurate?
Also surprised that they didn't open the B club at DFW given the large number of regional jet operations. There is no club for those pax who have to make a long walk or annoying train ride to A. Are there at least places selling to-go wine/beer in DFW if you can't walk all the way to the lounge?

I have 5 day passes to burn through by the end of 2020, and I thought about using one on a 2 hour layover I have in PHX next week, from 4:30 PM to - 6:30 PM. I just saw that the lounge closes at 5 PM. It appears that there is still an evening connection bank, so I wonder why they are not staying open later.
