Does anyone know more details about the new lounge like where it'll be and what sort of facilities it'll have?

Talked to the lounge agent @ YVR. She said new lounge should open in April. No first class section, but with showers and noodle bar.

Do you know where the new lounge will be located and who will occupy the old space?

"Close to the BA lounge". Probably the space (used to be a smoking room years ago think) below the BA lounge i guess. Didn't ask who's going to use the current cx space

It has always struck me that with the timing of BA and CX services, that some consolidation of lounge services between BA and CX ought to be possible.

who knows, but if it's anything like CX's other new / refurbished lounges it will be a massive upgrade over the existing one. CX's new lounges are very well done. Even without Champagne I'll take any of CX's newly done lounges in a heartbeat.

Hi -

If the new YVR lounge is anything like the MNL lounge, I think people will be happy the the new look.

Outstanding that YVR is finally getting showers. Having clean, hydrated skin makes such a difference on TPAC flights.

Could be fall 20??. Probably CX doesn't really know either.
