Seems the hours of the lounge have been revealed as well in those links:

Lounge Hours of operation are from 5:30a 10:00p local time. Candidate must be able to work between these hours and days. Hours are subject to change due to business need.

I hope this means they end food service at 10 and not kick everyone out at 10. Many redeye flights to the East Coast and Asia leave after 10.

10 pm is like peak hour at TBIT with something like 12 widebody departures to TPE, HKG, and Australia from 10 PM to 1 AM... it will be really odd if Amex decides to close the lounge at that time.

Spoke with one of the staff at the DFW lounge and they mentioned that the LAX lounge will open in Feb 2020 over two floors, so not too long to go!

Stumbled across it on my last visit to TBIT. Good to see it will be over the two floors. Looks like it will be nice.

I was in TBIT in late November and walked around looking for it being built. I saw no signs or anything. I walked or took the escalator up the stairs to where the other nice lounges are but could not locate anything. Was hoping to take pics to update the board but found nothing.

Where did you come across it at inside of TBIT?

Thanks,.

I have a layover mid February, I might just visit there, but so far I like Delta Sky Club better than centurion. But, maybe this one will be better.

Man, I have a layover in February and March! Really looking forward to this being built!

Actually came across it accidently while walking from TBIT to the AA terminal. There is a sign that says Amex lounge coming soon. Yes it's over two floors.
I've kinda put a pin where I think it rough was (bare in mind this was on Nov) so sorry if I'm a bit out.

Maybe in the space I circled in red? It is a stacked space on both level so that checks out to what marconess said.

I don't recall off the top of my head what's there now but LAWA didn't identified it as a potential lounge space before.





The "future lounge" space on Level 6 is the shared airline lounge right now.

Yes that's exactly where it is I think! Dam wish I'd taken a photo.

There wasn't any evidence of what it was before, just a Amex sign saying coming soon.

That's not where it is. It's the irregular rectangular area across "future lounge". You can see the space on the left when you go cross the bridge after security in TBIT. It spans across two levels(L4 & L3) and the main entrance is on L4.

The "irregular rectangular area" is an atrium that allows sun light into the lounge. It's literally a hole in the building that goes down to departure hall level (L4). Also L3 is sterile area in TBIT so you can't have a facility that is open to departing passengers.

You can see it in this photo below... the angle of view is OneWorld First Class lounge looking at the SkyTeam Lounge entrance across the atrium.

Edit: found map of Level 4 and a great photo of the atrium.

Correct myself here -- what I mean is Amex will take over the space directly below Qantas lounge for two floors -- however space per floor will be smaller because of the security checkpoint(same level)

bzcat

But the space below QF lounge is currently TSA security checkpoint and retail. I'm having trouble seeing where the lounge will fit.

I figured it out... and Eddie is probably right... there is an empty space below QF lounge on Level 2-3 and 4. Level 2-3 is the arrival level that is otherwise sterile. But as you can see in the photo below, it is physically segregated from the arrival walkway.



This photo is taken from Level 3 (arrival level). You can see the space to the right that sits below QF lounge that is empty that actually reaches down all the way to Level 2.

The floating walkway in the photo is Level 4 (departure level) from TSA checkpoint to the main departure hall.

QF First Class lounge is Level 5 - right side top row window.

On the left side, you can see Level 4, 5, and 6 which are behind the glass window.


Here are all three floors stacked together for better view. Including the atrium that goes thru all 3 floors.

Where ever it is located, I look forward to using it...
