Flying out this afternoon, will see if they are still there.

Not sure they'd want to film the DCA buffet anyway. It's really not great. CVG is much much better.

Yeah. I was pretty surprised to see kale and mixed green salads but no grilled chicken or even cheese. Even the Sky Club lounges at LGA have a more extensive offering.

Was in the DCA club earlier and the food spread wasn’t that great. I didn’t see any camera crews still there, but I assume they weren’t there for long.

It's weird "health" food that doesn't lend itself to being on a buffet or cooked by Sodexo.

Being back cheese cubes, chicken, and meatballs. Not that hard.

DCA Skyclub 6 am NYE

6 am NYE and I was the only guest in the DCA Skyclub. Assume there were folks here who have left for the first block of flights.
Now, 630 and there are 3 other people.

I'm in the security line below and coming up shortly. Can you order me a drink from the bar?

It's NYE. Not exactly a high travel day for FFers.

The AA gates are a zoo as usual. I really wish Delta still had a hub here.

In all seriousness, I'm at the DCA lounge now and it's deader than I've ever seen it.

Wow. 8 hrs at the club. Hopefully you were able to get more than one drink in.
