I can confirm the PDX sky club is open. Great friendly GM there. Nice to have the PDX up and running again.

Proposed Lounge SEA A (near A11) - Q2/2023
I saw over on the AS Lounge thread, it looks like the Port of Seattle will be discussing a proposal to build a new 47,000 sqft facility near gate A11. Delta is supposed to take over 25,000 sqft for a new Lounge. With construction completed Q2/2023. The presentation is listed under Attachments, 8f - Presentation Concourse A Building Expansion of Lounge.

seriously I don't really understand why you're harping on this location issue so much. It's like 20 steps "out of the way" to come out of TSA, turn left for the club instead of right for the A gates. There are a lot of reasons DL might chose to give up on this club but the location isn't one of them at all.

The E and F clubs at ATL are more out of the way for the vast majority of gates in their concourses than the MEM club is.

The main reason is because MEM is no longer a hub like ATL and is now just a small outstation with ~13 flights a day. With such a small # of potential club pax, the club not being in a good location could impact the already small # of people who will use the club. The signage to locate the club is also very poor. While this isn’t an issue for us FTers who know most clubs in and out, this might be an issue for those who don’t fly in and out of MEM often and possibly never knew there even was a club.

Does anyone know the number of Delta passengers per year at those airports that have a SC?

A relatively short search of various reports did not turn up that statistic, but I did find the total number of passengers per year for the 200 largest airports in the US (airports do get to be pretty small toward the bottom of that list). From that, it would appear that MEM may be the lowest total passenger volume for any airport with a SC. May break out differently when considering only Delta passengers, though.

Delta is not even the biggest carrier at MEM anymore, I am pretty sure AA and maybe SWA have both surpassed DL on # of passengers.

If anything, not being a hub makes having the club out of the way less of an issue, not more, particularly in a case like MEM where if you were arriving at and departing from A gates, then yeah, it's kind of out of the way. If you are going through TSA and then to gates, it's LITERALLY 15 seconds of walking.

Again the main issue I was pointing too is most people flying on DL aren’t going to walk that way and see there’s a SC there. The Club has very poor signage and most people will probably just walk into the new B concourse when it’s finished. If they want to keep the Club open, they are going to need to improve the signage near the TSA exit to let people know where the club is.

Dear Google Maps,

What are the hours of the Trans World Express check-in desk?

At MSP F/G it appears they have added a couple of rows of the blue chairs at the far end of the club, and the area by the ramp appears to be more densely packed with chairs in a new orientation. All of the previous signs on every other seat asking folks to space out are no longer present. Are other club not encouraging distancing, too?

I’m guessing they are just following local regulations. I noticed BNA added seats back in closer to the original, denser configuration too. Glad they did as it was starting to get tricky finding a seat at times recently.

The SAN Sky Club should be re-opening tomorrow according to DL.com (https://www.delta.com/us/en/delta-sk...ws-updates#sky). ATL C is also scheduled to re-open on May 1st (this Saturday) which will result in every concourse in ATL having an open Sky Club again.

Not sure. DL.com list 5am-10:30pm although I believe those are the pre-COVID hours.
