Yeah I don't get DCA. They spend all this money to build a proper kitchen and then manage to have the worst food in the system. From what I've heard, individual station managers have influence over the SC food offerings and DCA's must not give AF.
It's been the same garbage breakfast and carb bomb focaccia bread sandwiches since it reopened. Seriously the food pre-remodel was better.

I was ready to love DCA post-remodel: the space, the views, the staff. But then... the boring food. And then the other morning at 6am: rave music blaring throughout. It was not super loud but it was so awful that after asking to have it turned off / down and being told that wasn't possible, I grabbed a to-go coffee and went to the gate to hang out, where even the blasting commercial TV was less irritating than the din in the SC.
The DCA club even does unique things like passed around tacos on national taco day and custom passed cocktails.....the staff even walk around asking if you’d like a refill so you don’t have to get up.
The views are outstanding too.....I could chill there all day.

Whichever one doesn't have the abysmal sweet tasting and thin Bloody Mary mix. They all seem to have it so, I guess whichever one is not overcrowded that day and doesn't have adults acting like children. Also every club I have ever visited doesn't have Seagrams 7.

Have you been recently? There are plenty of healthy options and lots of salad options. The blue cheese Mac n cheese is delish and I love that Thai broth with a squeeze of lime....yum!

Yes, I was there on Wednesday at 6am. Agree on the views. It's my home airport so I know how repetitive the food, tasty as the MacnCheese is. Those "sandwiches" are just Godawful. But it was the music the other day that got my goat. Rave music at 6am. Who does that to the morning coffee?
Do you travel with noise cancelling headphones?

Favorite: ATL F, very nice, spacious lounge with great views and love that SkyDeck
Least Favorite: ATL D27, pretty small especially for a hub airport SkyClub and imo has a pretty dingy feel since it is underground and no views of anything.

Flying United today for the first time in years. No status. No lounge access. Paid $9 for a muffin and a cup of joe. I'd take SC at ATL B right about now. Oh the things we take for granted.
Flying UA because they have a NS flight and I needed to use up my money in travelbank.

Changes coming to CVG
Being CVG based, I agree with all of the votes for our SkyClub. The old decor and layout are part of its attraction. However, I was in there Tues afternoon last week and saw the signs about an upcoming remodel. Curious if they are going to follow the theme of the “white” sterile renovations or more like the new SkyClub at AUS.

I'm curious about those who had MCO on their list? I always thought I was on the set of the Golden Girls when in that club. I was there a few weeks ago and other than some leather on the chairs, that place seemed untouched since 2001...
