Hi cesco.g How have you been? Thanks for posting! So all Premiers check in there besides the spot exclusive for GS? Seems a little tighter than the current space at the far end of T-7. Since you were there I thought I would ask. Im Currently on the East Coast

I always enjoyed the supermarket style because confused people seem to stand behind someone else occupying a terminal leaving the unused terminals open. Or they queue up behind the one that has an agent behind it not knowing those agents roam.

Right, that’s why I DON’T like Supermarket “pit” style. Those agents roam, rather than stay at one post and call people from one general rope line. So many people get confused by the pit that you see at Newark/IAH and now LAX by standing in the wrong places.

From what I could tell, this seems to be now the check-in area for all Premiers. Spacewise, it felt similar to the previous check-in area on the East side of T7. Albeit, I was there late p.m., which is a slow time for check-in vs a.m.
Wish you a nice travel on the East Coast!

I was wrong about this. The light coming from the chandelier is seen in transmission, not reflection. The GS area is on the other side of the glass. And that's the chandelier being seen through the frosted glass. No one corrected me.

Comma Added to Sign by Prankster? Premier, 1K or Premier 1K?

This is not the case. The GS lobby empties out right on the edge of the existing checkpoint into the lane that pilots use to bypass the TSA. You have to walk around and over to the normal pre check ID checkers and then into the normal pre check lane. It works just like all the other GS lobbies where you can skip the line leading up to the ID checkers.

Nice thing is that this particular TSA ID checker is practically always open - it's the same ID checker for airline flight crews, so the last couple of times I went through, there was no wait at all. Great enhancement.

this is what happens when you spend too much time thinking about what the lobby looks like. also note that the one side comma'd / one side not comma'd sign rises up like a certain monolith. an additional stitched shot for our illustrious GS colleagues.
