I’m taking this from things like OMAAT given he was walking with Ben Smith to the lounge he presumably had a chance to discuss their future plans.

In the future they’re open to expanding entry requirements if the lounge isn’t overcrowded, but they’d rather start with restrictive criteria and then expand it, rather than the other way around.

I don't know how formally official this is ... but I was certainly told this, in person, by the AC reps, at the preview event.

Can anyone here who has been say it's similar to any other lounges?

Looks unreal. Surprised that they left SE's out of it

They did? I was told very explicitly that I'd be allowed in on my next two international flights out of YYZ, and I'm SE.

VIP rooms are for general VIP like celebs or people who would ruin the sanctity of MLLs with selfie-seeking crazies or paparazzi.
