It's an error, as noted by others in posts above

Yeah, mine's saying I can access the SS or TB lounge on an INT-TB connection.

If I had more than 90 minutes, I'd attempt it

On an R fare from O in a few weeks on my way to GRU. It's a long stop...4 hours or so.

I wonder if up-faring to P is a possibility? That would get me access n'est ce pas? Would have to weigh the cost of course but I don't think there are other good options for lounges in this scenario?

Of course I could always leave the airport to get dinner somewhere...

Anyone else going to be around the Signature Suite on the 31st? Due to poor planning on my part I will be in the Suite from around 14:00 TO 16:30.

Is it wrong for me to hope for a delay to your flight? I may get there before 5:30. All depends on traffic. I need to finish work (around 1:30), drive home, feed my cats, and then drive back to the airport. I expect the soonest I would be there is 5pm, but never know.

There are certainly worse places to spend a delay.
