Glad they started that. Is there any signage for where to go? Wondering by what gates the bus stops and how long the trip on the bus is, and if they only have 1 running.

I didn't see much signage but was instructed by an agent to go to gate A11. When you get closer, you see signage for the shuttle. Once they check your passport and boarding pass, you sit in a cordoned off waiting area until the shuttle shows up. The trip itself wasn't too bad (I quite enjoyed the view) and wasn't more than 10 minutes.

I opted for the VS lounge even though it was farther from my gate. A bit quieter but not as many food choices as they used to have.
As well as those that have the American Express Platinum card I believe?

Good to hear your trip was short, but wouldn't that route face delays for every single aircraft pushback from terminal B and C, causing another few minutes delay? Also, how large a bus was it?

Also, people going from E to A will not be able to use this airside bus as they will need to be rescreened.

The lounge is not yet listed on the Plaza Premium website so one would have to try their luck with their platinum card.

I'm flying JetBlue next Friday, so I intend to try my luck then.

I noticed they took down the menus from the Clubhouse webpage, is it still the better option over the AF lounge for food/drinks?

Thank you for the info on the VS lounge. To clarify, do you have to be flying to LHR as a DM/PM to enter or just be flying DL/VS anywhere in the terminal?

hoping to access it either via Amex Plat or status/class on future flight to AMS

Terminal E is expanding.

What nobody has mentioned is the Terminal E expansion that is almost done. Delta is putting a skyclub in it (unofficial quote from a SkyClub worker) and there will be more gates and room for more clubs. Should be nice.

Answering my own question - I'm in the Clubhouse now, they definitely seem like they're still working out the kinks (TVs/Coffee Makers etc). The menu is down to chicken/impossible burger, curry, and bowtie pasta, but lots of appetizer options that are still better than what AF has.

do you have to be flying to LHR to get access or are they just sending PM/DM there for all destinations?

So glad to hear reports of the Clubhouse open and (mostly) functioning. The AF lounge on its best day still doesn’t compare.

You're obviously not from the Boston area
'Almost done' on a construction project around here means at least another year...the current timeline is for Phase I to be done for the Terminal E expansion - which means 4 additional gates ready for summer 2023.

Unfortunately not sure as I was flying LHR on VS for this route, but for what it's worth (which is admittedly very little), the electronic boards in E still show Delta under the AF Lounge

Thank you for the info. On the Clubhouse page for Boston it does say Delta One passengers can enter the lounge, with no stipulation that they have to be flying to Heathrow. But they show that on every page. Will be nice if someone is flying to AMS/CDG or whatever and can report back on whether they were allowed in.

Amex/Loungebuddy still, however, shows the lounge as closed despite it being open.
