First modification scheduled for September 21st. — JonNYC (@xJonNYC) August 12, 2026 The Houston Intercontinental airport Executive Club in terminal D has been renovated. I haven’t bothered using that lounge in a decade, I didn’t find it to be much better than the terminal if I’m honest. The lounge was brightly lit, but with no windows. There was plenty of furniture, rooms, and discrete spaces. There’s nothing actually ‘nice’ about it, merely functional, and it was at least at three quarters capacity while I was there…There are no windows and no restrooms. It was loud and anything but relaxing. Pivot to premium. @AmericanAir dear AA. Today we start anew with another glorious adventure! This time we are on AA2750 DFW-MCO. it’s on-time! So we may improve our 2026 odds from 18/19 issue flights to 18/20, which is big progress. However…. Seat 2A tray table is kaput.
