Perhaps...I frequently fly in/out of Vegas midweek and never seen the line that long on a Tuesday.

At the PHX lounge currently and it's pretty busy but there are still seats for singles or couples. Lots of staff working and the space is clean. It's been a few months since my last visit but today they have a fresh omelette bar.

Another glorious morning at the CLT lounge. The line to get in is all the way to the elevators (upstairs). No bacon, no eggs and no fruit currently (awaiting replenishment). Thanks to AA for (again) having the C/D Admirals Club closed to hot food.

No wait at DFW today. Lounge was fairly crowded but easy enough to find seating.

For a change, an average load at the CL at MIA (300 pm on a Tuesday). Very enjoyable food spread: mushroom soup, ragu meat balls, risotto, eggplant.

Oh: relaying a report from a friend. Wednesday morning PHX lounge - friend had about 10 people in front of him. He guesses a lot of this was the surge from the World Series. He thought the eggs and sausage were quite good and the bloodies were strong.

Bit of a line at the SFO CL this morning (Nov 3) at about 10am. Was able to walk right into the United Club, so hung out there instead.

Maybe the crowds have figured that out. Was at DEN CL earlier this week in the evening. It was the most empty in all my visits. Maybe 25% full.

Meanwhile the new UC in B was very crowded. I also like the ambiance of the new UCs better.

Zero wait at SEA at 2pm today, maybe 70% full. Will post detailed review on the master thread. As a side note it was funny to watch the attendant ask my teen if he had his own card and her reaction when he replied "I do".

PHX CL not crowded at 11:00

PHX at 11:00am, not crowded at all. They refreshed the breakfast items at 11:10 even though switching to lunch at 11:30.

Looks like they may have had an omelet bar earlier, but its shut down now.

Staff doing a great job bussing tables and offering help.

FWIW, about a 12 minute walk to gate D15 when using the people movers and no slowpokes blocking.

Out of curiosity, was your teen asked for ID?

PHL told me to produce ID for my 15 year old, else they would treat him as a chargeable guest.

7am, PHL lounge is at capacity with staff asking parties to consolidate at larger tables to seat guests. Like my group, seems overwhelmingly families.

DEN was about half full on Friday night. That may be related to the new C1 lounge.
