PS: surprised SFO is not amongst one open...
California has been having record high rates of COVID-19.

I had never drank Old Forester until a recent SkyClub visit (possibly the self-serve at LAX). It was fine. I then noticed that Old Forester is put out by the same folks that bring you Woodford Reserve, Brown Forman

I realize that for many people, booze is as much about image as it is about taste or potency. I like booze that tastes good and mixes well in drinks, regardless of image. When I've bought bourbon in the past, I've gone with brands like Jim Beam and Rebel Yell. I'd consider buying Old Forester in the future.

I was insulted by Gordon's Vodka. I wasn't insulted by Old Forester.

Well said. Taste should be paramount. Having said that, I haven't tried the Old Forester yet.

I really enjoyed the Old Forester since they added it last Fall. Glad to have any bourbon!

Wait, you mean JD isn't a bourbon?

Always remember all bourbon is whisky, but not all whisky is bourbon!

Glad to hear MCO is open. Each state has adopted different ways to dealing with the pandemic. Florida has decided to go the route of herd immunity. The clubs should be open. The social contract that Floridians are looking for right now is a total reopening of their state. If they are traveling for work, leisure, etc. they should get the full experience they are looking for.

I plan to write Delta about the JD downgrade. So much for becoming a "premium airline"...

Spread at JFK T4 today:

Red pepper hummus, cheese, salami, antipasto, other things that I don't eat


Biscuits and mini naans


Nope


Biscoffs, almonds, pretzels


Two kinds of salad


Caprese(?) sandwich and vegetable wrap


Ham sandwich, chicken salad(?), corn salad


Sweet stuff

So very much in line with what's been reported upthread and way better than what you'd find at a UC pre-pandemic. Didn't try the food but had 10 biscoffs instead (oops). Also the bar was fully operational (forgot to take a picture)

Also this was all of the evening's departures... Was one of two people in the entire club after 6pm which was very very odd to say the least


But the deck was great and had it (and really the whole club) to myself

Thanks, updated wiki to reflect the reopening

FLL was still closed, but the terminal is also under construction/remodeling and mostly torn apart inside so not sure if the club will wait until the terminal is finished to reopen. The Shake Shack in the terminal opened, but didn't have the frozen custard yet

Any updates on RDU? I've pushed a business trip to NY back several times due to the quarantine for inbound pax, but just realized that I'm considered an essential worker and can go up in 10 days.

Haven't seen anything to indicate RDU is reopening.

Did they say when in July? SFO was closed on Friday FWIW.
