Pamplona,

just to correct your assessment, the "more confidential lounge" is already implemented, at least at CDG. This is true at the s3 (L) and s4 (M) lounges, where a private space has been designed for us. Not just a little corral where we are parked like cattle, as was the case when the FB Ultimate was launched, but a private room with an open bar. Of course, this kind of dedicated space only exists at CDG — nothing at all at AMS, not even a red velvety rope to park us away from the riffraff .
As for the limo service, they jumped the gun at the dawn of the program, and had it offered, though not for long, as the ground staff bitterly complained about it . Given the logistics at CDG (number of Jaguars, staff availability), you will not get anything, unless you are a super duper Club 2000 Ultimate, in which case someone (dragging their feet) will pick you up, escort you through security, and usher you to the lounge. I just got it confirmed this morning by one of the lounge leaders at CDG. And again, if it does not exist at CDG, it certainly won't happen in any foreseeable future at AMS .

Cheers,
