Predictions for new service?
What do you all think the next changes may be? I know they are working on the behind-the-scenes bag sorting, but what are your predictions for what other improvements or additional routes may be coming next?

I'll be flying Frontier in mid-June... I'm curious to see Concourse A after the reshuffle. In early June, I'll get my first taste of departing from C on AA, too. They're keeping things interesting for sure. I hope there is continued forward momentum with the airport and additional routes/services keep on popping up at a sustainable rate.

CLE Gate Re-Shufflies
Here are some more pics from today. It's still strange to see AA on Concourse C, but it was good to see things so busy again. Tiny C2 is now being used by AA, and C3 is still used for ground-level boarding until the jetways come (none on the odd side of C). Looks like Frontier is taking A8 and A10 (not sure about A12), as there is now an F9 counter at those gates and lines are marked for A320 & A321's.

Returning home I just saw it.
And the AA gates look nice/permanent, I wouldn't have known they were common-use at first glance. Digital signage and those boarding lane barriers go a long way I guess.

Moving to Cleveland. Credit card?
I have held various forms of Delta American Express for some years because we lived in Cincinnati where the majority of flights are from that airline- though it is changing for the better. Not a really frequent flier, most flights are to west coast or Germany to see relatives. Do any of you Cleveland ffs have an opinion on whether I should change my credit card or credit card use now that we are moving to Cleveland?

If you are patient and persistent, you can still pretty much get anywhere you want any time, especially if you have multiple mileage currencies.

I have never had a problem using Delta miles for flights though I often just use the card for free luggage and earlier boarding. I also have a Venture card that I use for various things. Perhaps I will just keep them !

That's what I would do... most of your flights will likely be with connections anyhow. I end up using the branded card of whatever airline has the government contract between Cleveland and Dallas (currently AA, but it was UA at one point), since I few times per year, I will fly that airline whether I want to or not. I'm glad it is AA; it's nice to get nonstop flights every once in a while.

Old service center
I would love to see the airport do something with the old Continental/United "service center" that's near the C7/C9 gate area. Putting the big guitar display there was a nice attempt at distraction, but it still looks lousy. A small shop, or even an art display nook would be nice.
Just for fun, I think they should put a piano in there, so I can play a little while I'm waiting for a flight. But seriously, I wish they would do SOMETHING with it.

Walking from B/PreCheck security to C, I was thrown off by seeing a crowd of people at C2. Makes it feel like CLE is growing, even if it's only because I have to walk past all the AA traffic that used to be in A
