But this lounge is still "secret".
I'm pretty confident they know exactly what the entry requirements are, and it will be much less complicated than what's being suggested here.

Who knows. I guess we'll find out in 7 weeks, although that date comes from a agent you said has details wrong. All I know is "construction looks complete" can in many cases be months away from actually being opened!

Because AC has a history of releasing things without thinking all the details through. Like the quite frankly **** poor release of domestic PY, for the second time.

Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll have access (due to my flight schedule) until January.

So is this "VIP" lounge meant for AC*VIP only?

I just received an email invite to view the "International Business Class Lounge" for Nov 17. There is an invitation for a dinner seating as well as the general viewing, so it looks like there will be restaurant-type seating, maybe similar to a LH First lounge. Cool! I'm overseas then but hopefully someone will attend and post their thoughts.

I got an invite, too. Unfortunately I'm not able to attend that night ... but even if I could, I don't know how much I could share here; the invite contains fine print that says:
This invitation is exclusive and non-transferable. Unfortunately, guests are not permitted. All attendees must sign a non-disclosure agreement before seeing the lounge.
Super-secret indeed.

Fine print indeed. I guess we won't hear anything about it, until we can visit for ourselves, hopefully soon.
