Flying to Jordan from Abu Dhabi on Sept 16th. As I aapproch the C Lounge counter, Im told I can use the lounge in the new terminal (I think its T2 or T3) as its now open!! and that it wud be much closer to my departure gate.

A short bus ride from gate 21, brings you to a brand new F/C class lounge in the new terminal, which is being used for select regional flights. Well decorated and modern look and feel. Darkwood finishings with bright and comfy leather furniture, and bright tiles. The lounge is Right on the ground floor with ceiling high windows looking onto the runways.

The best part however, has to be the striking 23" White Mac's placed in the internet room, for use of the passengers.

The terminal itself, is still not completely ready, but is miles better and nicer than the current terminal. I only wish they wud have used a different color at the gates instead of the black seats and gray carpets. Though I saw no cafe's or eatery's, from the looks of its a matter of a few weeks before the terminal will be petty much ready (in terms of structure and finishing at least)

sammy7, thanks for this news.
Do you recall if there was a list of 'select regional' airlines using this J lounge, or its name?
(I guess it might be just the airline you flex, until it is opened to all participating carriers).

Unfortunately no to both questions below.

However, as I am flying to Geneva next week with a four hour layover in the airport, if I stay in the same lounge, Ill be sure to ask and post back.

Ill take my camera along with me, and hope to snap up some pics.
