Just a note about the WiFi. If you are a guest in the lounge (enter somehow without being a RCC member, you can request a free access code from the door agent.

PHX has free wifi throughout the airport. I was in the RCC in April using my US Airways Club membership, and I was able to access the free airport wifi. Unless anything has changed since April, this should not be an issue in PHX.

That is good for PHX, but it doesn't work at DEN despite the free WiFi airport-wide. The DEN RCCs are elevated and the WiFi signal doesn't make it upstairs very well.

It would be nice to see access to the RCC in PHL since Delta has moved their club to the A terminal.

Sna - woohoo
Since SNA is the homefield, this is a genuine homefield advantage. I anticipated this late next year but it is great to open it up now. Thanks, CO!

PHX still has free wifi airport-wide courtesy of the city of Phoenix. ^

The DEN PC is convenient enough even to UA. You can take the elevator from the 4th floor down to the train right outside the PC door. Not a bad transfer to the other terminals.

Yep, you can make it from the DEN PC to just about any gate in the airport in 15 minutes or less. It's not hard.

I'm very happy to see that one of the first changes we see includes something that adds value to CO customers without taking things away. As a temporary Arizonan commuting to SFO, this is probably enough to get me to switch from WN for my SFO-PHX flights. I still hope that the UA agreement might mirror the NW/DL agreement with unlimited reciprocity regardless of the airline flown, instead of requiring that we fly on UA or CO: often the only non-stop options out of PHX are on US.

I'm sure I could physically get there, but my access means of *G or AmEx PLT means no access once I get there.
SNA has no free wireless in the terminal. What about PC members trying to get WiFi there? The question remains, regardless of which RCC one is going to.

I am in the Phoenix RCC right now. Just showed BP and PC card and ID.
Very attractive lounge near the CO gates. You can look out the window right at the CO jetways. Divided into about 5 sections (larger than FLL PC). Restrooms inside lounge, near check in desk.
Phoenix Airport WiFi is free. UA does not have their own. About 4 workstations positions at one end. But some tables at other end, with wall plugs available.
Breakfast items include:
Fruit, large bagels, yogurt, coffee, tea, etc.
Bar is at other end but drinks are expensive:
Liquor - $7
House Wine - $6, offer more expensive as well.
Beer - $5
Draft - $4.50
Bottled Water - $2
Pitcher of tap water available for free.
Vice nice lounge, except for the expensive bar. A big improvement from previously sitting in the crowded CO gate area and using the airport public WiFi.
Thanks CO for this early access ^ Of course, the CO LAS PC is a step above.

I thought CO didn't have access with UA lounge? 
I think there is free of charge that you can surfing with Internet. I know where RCC lounge near old US gates right next to CO gates. I remember when I was there at the old terminal 2. I look it around where I can see explorer around the terminal 2. Pretty soon when PHX will have demolished old terminal 2. It will begin constructions new S1 at the terminal 4. If they are approval from FAA. It will have wait to get finalized approval from city of Phoenix.
I knows AC has been already relocated to T4 along with US, WS, BA, AM. It will be better reductions less the crowded in the terminal 4. So however, I think AC will kept in the terminal 4 for awhile until new West Terminal will being built in the future. If they have enough gate availability at the T4.
