The RDU SkyClub has rearranged the food in a much more sensible format. They may also have added olives; I can't remember whether they were there before.

Of course, the adjacent American Airlines club has the delicious smell of hot food and a big sign announcing it. How long will it take Delta to follow suit?

On a completely unrelated note, is the AA lounge at RDU in Priority Pass?

No, but there is a (airport-owned) non-airline affiliated club in Terminal 1 which is on the PP list.

Ah, I enjoy that 2nd SkyClub since most folks don't know to walk past the 1st one.

Never mind, I didn't realize that they charged for it. No thanks.

CVG can claim bragging rights as the largest, roomiest SkyClub in terms of per capita square footage available/ population density.

Since most of my flights are international I would like to know if the new E SC will have a quiet area where one can relax if forced to layover for 4 hours or more? Currently I have to go to C36/39 to find what I need at ATL.

HALLE-****in'-LUJAH!!!!

When the SEA club shut down I honestly felt like I had lost a true friend. I used to get to the airport ~3 hours before departure to finish editing Seahawks footage and have met many many friends over the years in that club. Many of whom I still go out of my way to meet when we're near each other.

RDU should have a US Airways Club opening in T2 by the end of the year which is likely to be on the PP list.

Programs: Now just a lowly DL PM/1MM. This industry needs some competition. It's just not enjoyable anymore.

That is currently the plan... but as always, subject to change based on finalizing the occupancy certificate and a list of other key items. The last two openings involved crews working behind the scenes, painting, arranging, hanging signs and cleaning up - literally right up to the moment the clubs opened.

I would have enjoyed being at this club opening as SEA is one of my favorite cities in the US, but I have been promised a few pictures of the club, so stay tuned for those very soon! Word has it that the new Rooftop club has a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier (assuming Mother Nature cooperates)

Used to be the old Business Elite lounge, didn't it? LOVED their hot food and sweets selections in the afternoons/evenings!

I'm assuming if all this construction is going on it is in a new location rather than it's old home? Do you know approximately what gate it's near now so I can get a mental picture?

Many thanks to Marie Force, Archives Manager, Delta Air Transport Heritage Museum for providing the picture and validating that the A17 Crown Room was Delta's original Flagship club in ATL.


Great picture of Bill Clinton in the original Crown Room

The remodeled Delta Sky Club in Seattle is located near gate S9.
