Was quite impressed with the food offerings at DCA. Packaged salads, wraps, pita, cookies, lemon bars- better than United Clubs or Admirals Clubs pre-Covid
MSP was gross, hospital quality buns with deli meat and wilted salad. But MSP had signs saying a new fresh food menu would be coming in weeks.

Sounds better than the cheezit only menu in beginning of May lol (at least drinks were still in glassware). I was in ATL 2 weeks ago and thought it was still lacking (they were out of gin) but I did enjoy the pimento cheese sandwiches, hope they have them again when I pass back through next week.

If you have the time I find F in ATL to be better than A.

I did go to F on my first pass through but it was eerie being literally the only one in there (10am on a Saturday) so I went to A on the way back.

7 more SCs to re-open throughout the month of July (no dates given). The clubs listed as re-opening in the article are “Chicago O’Hare (E Concourse), Denver, Miami, Nashville, Orlando, Phoenix and San Francisco.” I asked my friend who works for DL in MCO if they knew what the exact date of the re-opening was for the MCO SC and was told July 8th. I’m not sure what will be offered alcoholic as the state of FL ordered all bars to stop serving alcohol for on site consumption last week.

Thanks for sharing! They're doing better than when I was flying when this all started back in late March / early April. Those snacks look pretty good.

I bet they have alcohol, the closure is revenue based. Bars close if 51% or more revenue is alcohol. All bars (or "restaurants") that have 51% or more revenue from food can stay open for on site consumption.

Exactly. This is very specific to places like dive bars or nightclubs. Restaurant bars are still open.

Sky Club had “maybe” a dozen people. Immaculate.

BOS skyclub bar is open and fully stocked - normal comp beverages as well as premium. Nice spread for breakfast as well... oatmeal packs, eggs, little sandwiches, muffins, fruit, yogurt, overnight oats, nuts etc. There are a total of 4 other people here.

Fyi for those who like wine... they have a new wine list here and are clearing out the previous premium selection as complimentary... so some decent stuff.

Looks good! Interesting Jack Daniels isn’t on the comp list anymore.....I know a few people that will not be happy about that.

I honestly think it varies. I've seen different "house" vodkas across different clubs at different times.
