SEA for me.

Haven't visited the SFO one yet-

As for SEA... The closet even has a closet :p

It's not that small (like SEA, for instance). Not huge, but not ridiculously small.

What about BF tickets?
 
As mentioned on page 1 (but not answered)...what if you are under 21 (not just by a few months, but maybe even years (say 18 meaning you could have at least bought the ticket yourself)), will you be able to access the PC? I know you can't be a member unless you are 21 but if you booked a paid BF ticket aren't you entitled to access the PC? Or do they just "water down" the ticket if you are under age and not include club access? I could see being allowed access if you are in a major city with the attended bars but I would guess maybe no access if you are in a city with an unattended PC.

What if you fly to a city with unattended bars and further is a foreign country which has different legal drinking limits?

It's a grey area and getting huffy about it serves no productive purpose.

My teenage son flies unaccompanied from time to time. (He is over 15 so he can fly without the UM checkin and dogtag document holder that he hated when he was younger.) He has a credit card to carry when he travels and we have never had a problem with improper use.

We were going to get him a Plat Amex card to have access to the Presidents Clubs and Admirals Clubs. We held off on doing so when we discovered the 21 age limit in both clubs. As much as he was disappointed that he could not get into the clubs alone without us, WE were disappointed because we would prefer that he be there during layovers. Except for a tiny number of travelers who could demonstrate their levels of inebriation equally at the departure gate, I have trouble thinking of these clubs as "bars", at least in the sense of those places into which I snuck when I was 16 (and the drinking age was 18.) But, them's the rules. Although I have trouble conceiving of this as theft, especially if AMEX were paying the club for his entrance fee when the card would be swiped through the reader. . Not according to the rules, yes, theft, I don't think so. Riding on someone else's card, yeah, that can be considered theft.

One other observation. I have a low post count, but I lurked for a long time on these boards before I joined them. Earlier in this decade the word "enhanced" was a frequently used word on the CO forum. It looks like "shenanigans" is the new Co forum buzzword.
