Some of the clubs the crowds are out of control. I'm assuming these are cc holders. I'm convinced now that Doug Parker has managed to get a butt in every seat onto 99% of flights he called the team together and screamed "the ACs are next."

The poor staff can't keep up.

The bird is still flying overhead in the PHL B/ C Admirals Club as of Noon today, August 5. Confirmed by an authorized cardholder LOLOLOLOL (But, seriously, the bird lives). Anyone know which species?

Being that it's PHL, I don't expect the club will ever look any better than it does now. It will be a slow death until the chairs resemble the seats on a SEPTA train...

It remains to be seen if the Flagship Lounge in A is going to have half of it be an AC. My guess is no -- like JFK they will have too many eligible passengers for a small footprint.
I remember the bird - that was a fun to be around a bird, but the poor bird must have been terrified.

Welcome to domestic US lounges! I would say your experience is actually above average in cleanliness. Congrats! Try any other lounge to experience others!

I'm sorry. Have you not heard? I thought everybody's heard that the bird is the word.

I was expecting to see a mouse in one of those photos. I encountered one of those scurrying across the PHL F club once.

That’s just there to ensure you receive the full F experience.

Maybe AA brought in an actual eagle to deal with the mouse problem.

Second, there are airlines investing in their lounges right now. Delta announced in April it is building a brand new club on Concourse D in ATL to replace the existing smaller clubs, building a third Sky Club at MSP, added a second temporary club at LAX for extra space, opened a brand new club in FLL, is building a club at HND, and most importantly keeps their clubs spotlessly clean. I was at MSP C club recently and although it still is the same design as the old NW world club, everything was spotless and new furniture has replaced all of the old furniture since my last visit.

Cleaning a club doesn't cost a lot, and while AA may not invest in new furniture, they could at least spruce the place up a bit.
Delta also has a new fifth club coming online at DTW.
