Breaking News: Admirals Club adds new snacks!
I was going to write about the European Commission approving the merger between American and US Airways, but this is much bigger news – the Admirals Club is upgrading their snack offering!
Enhanced Admirals Club Snacks
We’re adding new selections to the snack offerings. Oranges and yogurt covered pretzels are now available all day. A mini butter croissant and a variety of mini Danishes were added to the morning options. Plus, you should start seeing an upgraded Otis Spunkmeyer chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookie, mixed Mediterranean olives, crudité, and assorted cheeses to pair with tomato basil crackers for an afternoon snack.
Yogurt Pretzels!! Woo hoo!!

They had me at croissant and Otis Spunkmeyer chocolate chip cookie!
The snacks at Admirals Clubs are pretty bad so any addition is a good one!
I’d love to get my hands on one of those coloring books to save for Lucas. Too bad I don’t have an upcoming flight with AA. 🙁
@ The Weekly Flyer – I agree, and the Otis Spunkmeyer is the Woodford Reserve of cookies!
@ Michael W Travels – First coloring book I get my hands on belongs to Lucas!
As US Airways Club also offers Reciprocal Access to Star Alliance and United Lounges, it makes a membership with them a good value right now – actually as I have Status with US Air – its actually a tiny bit cheaper to go with them. As I fly to PIT a lot I maybe tempted..
