It is pretty silly. Shouldn't the complimentary Sky Club offerings at least match what's served on board?

They have Jack Daniels which is pretty close. The only thing keeping Jack from being a true bourbon is they charcoal filter it before they age it, something bourbon makers don't do.

I suffer through jack at almost every sky club. They can keep their maple sugar charcoal thingy - I will drink beam any day over jack.

Delta, here's a suggestion, reach out to your most loyal customers, Diamond flyers, lifetime club members and ASK what they are seeking in the clubs. Ask your service team what they hear from members. Rotate the food times (please), while the selection has broadened, it's boring....

Plus one on that! For those of us that like Woodford, I would recommend trying Buffalo Trace. It's very good and a little cheaper than the Woodford, but not cheap enough that we will see it it the SC anytime soon.

1985. Before they gave everyone with a credit card access to the Crown Rooms. In the days, when the folks you saw in the Crown Rooms were generally dressed in suits, people didn't put their feet up on the furniture, didn't have cell phones to loudly explain how important they were to everyone around them, there was food, etc.
