[INPUT REQUESTED] Lounge hours & lines - where should they go?

Based on feedback from the community over the past couple of years, we have a thread that lists AC lounge locations and access rules, separate from the threads on experiences in the lounges themselves (MLL / SS / Café).

Several FTers have recently noted that it's unclear where information on opening hours for the lounges and discussion of line-ups / wait times belongs.

I'm not really sure there's a right or wrong place between the two types of thread we have, and would like to hear from the community. I think there are probably three options, broadly:
  1. Discussion goes in the access thread
  2. Discussion goes in the experiences threads
  3. A new thread gets created

I think opening hours and lines as separate topics, so the answer could differ between one and the other, e.g. maybe opening hours go in the access thread while wait times go in the experiences threads. But I'm open to input if people see these two subjects as inherently linked.

As always, feedback is welcome and valuable regardless of post count. I would say I'd be particularly interested in opinions from those who regularly use the threads to find out or post about these particular issues to understand what seems most logical, but whether you have 10 posts or 10,000 isn't important.

I'm sure that we won't reach a unanimity on this point, but when there's no clear answer, I do appreciate trying to find out what the group is thinking as opposed to making a unilateral decision or just going off what a handful of people have said privately. As usual, I'll try to keep most of my opinions to myself for a bit to let the discussion flow.
