Does anyone have any idea of when this thing will open. They began construction in October and most likely paused in March of 2020. Did they resume construction? It can’t take more than 1.5 years to build a flagship lounge.

I don't have any inside info, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Sure, they could resume construction, but why bother with intl travel levels so low? They aren't even opening all the lounges they already have, so why spend to build a new one in any hurry?

Thanks for the additional input! I bought an ex-PHL itinerary, which is substantially cheaper, departing at 6am, but it looks like I will be in NYC the day before. I am contemplating whether to stay in NYC till the night, take the last Amtrak to PHL (arriving at 1am), then just go to the airport at 4am when SEPTA starts running. If the PHL AC had a shower, that would be my plan, but now that everyone has confirmed it doesn't, maybe I will take an earlier train from NYC and stay at the HIX near the airport (I only have IHG points).

What are the odds the Flagship lounge is open by Christmas? Trying to decide on a routing to Europe and while I usually avoid PHL like the plague, a flagship lounge MIGHT entice me otherwise...
