I will be returning to Ottawa, from Chicago next week. As an AC Elite, I will have access to this lounge?
What do people think of this lounge, as other UA or AC lounges, go?</font>

I was in this lounge back in September when it first opened. It is much smaller than the one near B6, perhaps 75% smaller, but it is much brighter with large windows overlooking the F gates area. The proximity to the AC gates make it a nice amenity when flying home from ORD. It does offer the same facilities as other RCC lounges, but be aware that RCC lounges have a cash bar, compared to the free liquor at the MLL's.

I just returned from Chicago, yesterday - taking the 5:45 PM flight.
The lounge was quite crowded - several people who came in, left the lounge after being unable to easily find seats.
For now, the bar was not offering alcoholic beverages.
PS-The RCC lounge agent wanted to see my picture i.d. - in addition to seeing my AC Elite card, and my AC boarding pass. Is this a new feature of all RCC lounges?
