If I recall correctly, didn't the club still have work cubicles? Do you suppose the "kitchen renovation" will do away with them?

There was a surplus of white plastic laminate and swirly-polished stainless steel when they finished "renovating" the ATL clubs, and the surplus was taking up warehouse space.

Would you like for them to bring back grandma's frilly curtains as well?

There were 2 sections of cubes, yeah. One right inside the door, and another over by the back corner closest to the main terminal. Hopefully they still have some work areas when they are done, because that's where I always sat.

It was certainly not what I was hoping for when I went in.

I noticed yesterday when I arrived at BNA that there was an agent sitting at a table next to the club yesterday with a few jars of snacks. I asked when I was here in Feb. what the renovation would entail. There will still be some warm, wood style elements to the club. But they will be putting in the laminated stuff and the 'Target' furniture. Also removing walls to 'open up the space'-aka cram more bodies into a small space.

Even at its busiest though, that club has never been more than half full. I'm really not too worried about them opening it up a little since it was kinda dark and scary compared to other newer clubs.

Wood evokes the image of "Club"... warm, inviting, relaxing... more in keeping with the image depicted in the DL marketing hype.
White plastic and stainless steel scream "nightclub" ... noisy, crowded, a place where you have to elbow thru people to get a drink. Oh, wait... now I get the message.

I don't agree with this comment. There have been many times where I have had trouble finding a seat, especially if on a 4-4:30 departure since all the hubs have one around that time plus NYC. Of course with the Diamond's no longer getting free +1s it has thinned a bit.

BTW When I was there last week I was chatting with the club staff and they said they were going to be kept on reasonably normal hours during the reno, and would be out in the terminal with snacks and stuff.

IMO the new SFO club is really beautiful. I think they added some good color and design elements that helped to warm it up, not to mention the gorgeous huge windows overlooking the tarmac. Also, I've never found it to be overly crowded. I think it's the best SC right now.
