Doubtful. Keep in mind that they've done away with the "elite" security line in A. You're now just shoved into the regular queues, no matter how First Class your boarding pass is, or how Diamond'ed up you are!

If I recall from the response I received, the 80% is now in the hands of the City of Philadelphia to approve.

Don't hold your breath on that 20%.


I agree. Sadly, I've on occasion encountered ticket counter staff who were overwhelmed and therefore could not really provide the assistance I needed.

I don't really drink, so I'm not really very well-versed on Pennsylvania's incredibly moronic liquor laws, but I thought the liquor licenses were issued by the state, and that there was a fixed number of licenses that can't change? If that's the case, I would have thought that Delta kept their old Liquor license from the old CRC to run the "new" CRC, and will hang onto it until the "newest" CRC is built.

Also, since Delta doesn't SELL liquor in the CRC, do they even NEED a liquor license in PA? As long as they don't serve to minors?

I'll be happy if I can just find a Coke Zero someplace in the CRC or the US Airways Club.

FYI - the US Air access is members only - no entry for ST Elite+ on intl itens or use of day passes, etc. per an email I got from SC.

Received an email today from Delta... nothing that was not reported previously except its on the official email stationary. I've been told the gates will be in D but no indication of that in the email, so I will see what is assigned on my flight. D&E share security, easy enough to turn right or left and of course D would be better because its on the way to the USAir club

Delta and Northwest customers will check in from PHL's Terminal E beginning January 19th.


Dear Mr. ross123,

We're making some changes at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

Delta and Northwest Airlines® have merged, and beginning January 19th, all Delta and Northwest flights will check in at Terminal E. In addition, Delta signage will replace Northwest signage throughout the airport. Look for Delta blue and red at former Northwest check-in and ticketing locations, gates and baggage claim areas.

Due to this transition, the Delta Sky Club™ in Terminal A East will close on January 19th. However, Delta Sky Club members carrying a current membership card and photo ID may access US Airways Clubs until our new location opens this spring. The US Airways Clubs are located between Concourses B and C, and on Concourse F.*

Rest assured — our new signage and airport staff will ensure you get where you need to go.

Thanks for choosing Delta!

*Please note that complimentary alcoholic beverages are not provided in US Airways Clubs.

Yep, got this email too.

For what it's worth, beer and wine are complimentary in the US club:

It says "*Please note that complimentary alcoholic beverages are not provided in US Airways Clubs." ... so I guess its just liquor you have to pay for.

Starting Tuesday, Delta Air Lines Inc. flights and former Northwest Airlines flights at Philadelphia International Airport will check in at Terminal E. Delta, which merged with Northwest in 2008, said in an e-mail message that its blue and red signage would replace Northwest signage at airport check-in and ticketing locations, gates, and baggage-claim areas. The Delta Sky Club for frequent fliers, now in Terminal A-East, will close Tuesday. The airline said fliers with a current membership card and photo ID may use US Airways Clubs, between Concourses B and C and on Concourse F, until Delta opens a new club in the spring............................. story (page down)

The good news is we won't have to go from the E concourse to the A, to use a club ..... the bad news speaks for itself. <lol>

Small update that many may have assumed - Plats and BE flyers coming off the intl flights will be able to use the US club as well.

As a SkyClub member do you think you could access US Clubs today (Friday) or will we have to wait until after the SkyClub closes?

ross123

I don't think its all USAir clubs, only Philadelphia -- or at least that is my assumption (however the quoted article is vague). But of course the worse they can say if you walk up to the desk is no....

The USAir club in Philadelphia is pretty large, covering the distance between B and C on the floor above the departure gates (over the food court and shopping area). Its a nice club as I remember from years ago. Hopefully they've kept it maintained.

uva185

Oh yeah, I assumed it was only PHL clubs. I am flying through PHL quite a bit over the next few months (including tonight) and would prefer to visit the US Clubs.

This is actually quite nice as I can put off buying the US Club membership for a few months!

The GA just made an announcement at E4 prior to boarding the 6:45 MEM flight regarding terminal changes. She said that effective tomorrow, 19 Jan, all flights will be moved to D. The ticket counter will stay in E.

Sitting here waiting for the 5:50AM flight to DTW to depart which is now scheduled to leave at 7:40AM due to crew rest. Of course, I was scheduled on the 6:15pm flight last night that was delayed and would have caused me to miss the last flight of the night to FNT. As it stands now, I will miss the 9:05AM FNT flight, and will hopefully make the 10:25 AM. If not, the next flight isn't until 3:25pm, which will get me to FNT about 18 hours after me original schedule. Grrrrrr....my wallet is not going to be happy missing all of this work!
