Does EY grant access if you're connecting in J from an F flight (e.g., flying JFK-AUH in F, then connecting to AUH-MCT on a 2-class plane in J)?

I'm surprised it took this long to have the most-frequently-asked EY F question asked!!!

I will be in there this coming Thursday for a 2125 flight. Will get to the lounge much earlier than ordinarily! Let me know if you'll be around from about 1800.

Lounge did open @ 6 PM

Lounge did open @ 6 PM. Apparently first one to walk in. Too much attention @ the moment. Will update in some hours.

Met few VP's. They are expecting 50-60 folks to pass through per night.

Great Bar! 2005 Bollnger La Grande Annee, Duval Leroy Rose for Champagne

Dining from Emirates Palace? At least that is one of the few pages in the menu

Per night?

What is the total expected throughput in a whole day [any 24-hour period], then?

Surely they would have more than 50-60 Etihad Guest Platinum members (plus guests!) flying every night, let alone in any 24-hour period, or let alone all the other classes of passenger that will have access!

My 2 cents: perhaps today is first day but beats LH FCT (except for driving to plane service)! For sure today's food + service = Michelin ***

Past 2 hours, 6-7 folks and it is 8 PM Abu Dhabi time. re: "Surely they would have more than 50-60 Etihad Guest Platinum members (plus guests!) flying every night", what I was told is peak is 50-60 folks.
