All they have to do is look at CO's PCs. i.e. their 3 kinds of cheese against DL CRC's horrible cheese offering, various snackfoods as opposed to DL CRC's mysterious mixes and the fact that CO went to bat for their own members against MassPort when MassPort threatened the PC's free wireless. DL could do worse than simply copy CO clubs until the DL staff have time to figure out their own customers needs and desires.

As long as the copying stops before it gets to the bar. I find the beer, wine and liquor selection very weak at the PC's I have been in. DL offers higher quality hard liquor and more beer variety, including some local brews on tap.

Funny enough IMHO and I am a PClub member, NW has the best food offerings of the club alliance between DL/CO/NW. CO presents their food offerings better than NW and DL but NW offers most selections follow by CO and then DL. Funny enough, the best club would be DL's design(minus their desk chairs, NW's and CO's are better)/NW's food/CO's wifi and showers.

" Free massage chairs. I used the one in the DCA CRC on Thursday 2/15. It was great."

There is also one at ORD. Mrs Gargoyle tried it in January, she said it was ok but not great.

The local brews only appear in some CRCs for some reason. Anyway, I am still pissed at DL for swapping from Glenmorangie to Dewars.

Can we just get real food, free wifi, and the occasional club with a shower? That's not too much, is it...

Yes, some locations are great, others less so. SFO had Anchor Steam a few years back (although I heard a rumor it has since disappeared). SLC probably has the best beer selection of any domestic club I've seen (I usually go with the Park City Steamer there), and ATL has the Sweetwater 420. However some clubs have horrible selections. At LGA, Beck's is decent, but not great. FLL was the worst this summer--I think it was a choice between Miller and Bud Light.

I've always appreciated the fact that DL offers a decent bourbon in their clubs and on their planes. The airline norm is to serve only "Jack".

I get really annoyed when I ask for "Bourbon" and get offered "JACK"
"Jack Daniels" is not Bourbon. I am looking for the Woodford Reserve!

I was in the Satellite CRC on the 13th and they had the Godiva drinks. From a quick glance around, a fairly good amount of people had a bottle (and they were QUITE good). I didn't see them in the FLL CRC on the 17th.

My wife and I were in JFK CRC last week and saw the adverts for the Godiva drink. They were out but they graciously gave us two coupons for an in-store purchase!

There is one in the corner at PBI. It's ok. I wouldn't plunk down hundreds of dollars just to get access to one. Rather spend it on the new exotic dancers at the CRCs.

Hmmm I smell a new chain of airport bars coming soon. :-)

Where do I invest?
