Does anyone know the status of the Bridge? Is it open? And are they still doing their ala carte tapas dining there? Thanks

As of earlier this month the former bridge is now a regular AC. I don’t know why it’s not FL anymore…FL is so packed at peak evening time it’s hard to find a seat.

So I think the actual bridge is under construction / being used as a staging area for the new Galleries lounges. It looked that way when I was there two weeks ago, but will confirm when I go through T8 on Saturday.

Boy, FL was -packed- yesterday. From 2:00 to 7:00 basically filled to the gills at certain points. The AA flights to LHR (AA 100) and CDG cut the volume down a bit, but wow.
