They are briefing the media and (a lot of) bloggers next Monday/Tuesday. I'd expect the NDA to lift very shortly after that.

Where have they said they are doing that? If that is something that was heard from someone inside the lounge that may or may not exist, it would be part of the NDA and therefore not open for discussion.

They have invited every blogger with a pulse, and half of those without one, so it's not exactly a secret.

Edit: Also, I was really happy to see that they held the SEMM event before the media briefings. That was a nice outreach to some of their best customers IMO.

Yes, at least for now. If wildly successful, I would expect them to do something similar in YVR and possibly eventually YUL.

"I do not recall or cannot comment under NDA" does NOT go over extremely well when the nexus lanes at the bridge crossing are closed.

Would be more fun to go with: "neuralized, like from MIB" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralyzer

And there's no way I can't see YVR getting an equivalent lounge.

So...

That's going to be the business center for the international YVR MLL.

Not unexpected entry requirements, but nice to see some confirmation before it opens...

Interesting that they hosted a SE event and access is only limited to paid Biz...

Does it look like it will be big enough if there are 90 people there ?
