The release will likely come,
CO DCA, but for now this is what we'd consider a 'soft launch'.

The new SkyTeam Lounge at London-Heathrow (LHR) is open for Continental BusinessFirst customers, SkyTeam Elite Plus customers traveling on a same-day SkyTeam itinerary (consistent with SkyTeam rules) and Continental Presidents Club members (plus up to one guest). This shall remain in effect through Continental's last day in the SkyTeam alliance, which is October 24, 2009.
To answer your question,
ann patrice, yes, you may access the SkyTeam lounge upon arrival as long as you're in transit and meet one of the eligibility criteria above. If you are outside the secure area, however, you're out of luck - no gate passes will be issued at this location.
