Not at MSP. The only PP lounge is the PGA club where you get a 15 dollar voucher good at a couple of restaurants. 15 bucks is not going to cover a meal and an alcoholic beverage at airport prices. The $28 that priority pass gives at most restaurants is sufficient although it annoys me to no end that I can't use any of the $28 for a tip.

I remember the situation at LGA D shortly after the merger, with two SkyClubs practically touching. Almost nobody could find one of them (take an immediate hard left/partial U turn after Security Theater).

Good. The amount of G-G connections these days at the upper end its a hike down to the F Club or over the the C12 club.
I have always liked the C12 club and the various rooms and types of workspaces, and the views outside. Its always far more calm and quiet than the other clubs.
The F clubs stinks, its overcrowded, the seating sucks, lacks privacy, all you hear are other peoples' phone calls, the worstations too close together. Its a horrible design.

I just heard from the SC Manager here that the F/G and C will remain open after the G17 club opens

Just saw the sign. This is needed... particularly out there.
Although if this goes like the other airport construction, we will be waiting a long time. Work not yet started.

wow! That looks beautiful! SO glad to see they are not using the same design everywhere and instead giving some unique look to different clubs. The dark colors are a good idea for that climate where they will add a feeling of warmth during cold winters.

That was probably my favorite club in the system (along with DTW B/C). Shame to see the loss of self-serve drinks and those well-divided seating areas.
Are there any other lounges in the system left in the old Northwest design (other than the DTW lounges)?

The KLM/Air France lounge at SFO intl terminal is basically still the old NWA lounge. It was basically untouched until a couple years ago, and now they've put in some new furniture, but most of it is still in tact.
