We flew out of FLL this past week on a delayed flight. Upon checking in, the ticket agent apologized for the late flight and when we said we'd just wait it out at the Sky Club, she said "if you can get in". We were able to, thankfully. Word on the street has it that the brand new FLL SC was built too small. The entire club including kitchen areas was built at just the size intended for the passenger area... who knows if this is accurate, but the club is definitely overcrowded.

Since DTW s an even bigger hub than MSP, I don't know why we don't have any PP options at McNamara. I'd rather have a restaurant credit if I have a delay than skycloub access sometimes.

The fares are ridiculous to the point where we have booked some non-DL out of Atlanta and are looking for status match. And, if I have to eat one more domestic FC meal with those bamboo forks that stick to my lips, I'm gonna scream. Hope those go away.

I know those of you with kids won't like this but they need to cut down on the number of kids if there is a wait. And, kick them out when the parents don't keep them under control. FLL SC was like a day care last week and all of the kids were on a sugar high.

I had (4) domestic F flights last week with meals. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all represented. All we’re on real plates, served on a tray with real cutlery and cloth napkins. The only thing missing from pre-Covid was the hot towels. Meals have greatly improved in the past month. Fares are crazy high.

I guess Delta is finally going to build lounges for D1 passengers

they need to do this in Atlanta.
Just convert one of their current clubs.
No kids, no pets, no guests.
No talking loudly on the phone or throwing trash on the floor. Ooops, went to far with that one.

Not sure where they would put one in ATL since I don't think there is any room in E or F. Would make a lot of sense to use either E or F since that's where most of the Delta one traffic goes out of and I can't see them converting the E or F club to a D1 only lounge.
