If I may add something, currently some of the QF and AA international flights are clearing customs in TBIT.

Part of the problem at TBIT are that the lines are unpredictable, and vary from 5 min to 50 min quite suddenly. But 90% of the time it is pretty good; only that worst 10% ever gets reported on the web. Still better than MIA and even JFK, as a point of comparison. |
How is the constructions for the lounges progressing?
I've heard they will open the new alliance wide lounges in May before. |

Last I heard was September, however, they are backing away from it. :( There is no official opening date now. My guess is late 2007 or early 2008. :mad:

Damn unionized construction... :mad:
I was hoping it would open before July. |
Recent Visit
Just recently used the TBIT Interim business lounge again. Compared to my visit in late December, the white chairs are now looking light greyish/brownish, definitly showing signs of heavy use. Still prefer the lounge to the depressing gate area where everyone looks homeless lying down on the floor with their shoes off. Upon arriving back, I waited about 30 minutes in the immigration line. Definitly a dungeon. The terminal updates can't come soon enough.

First time using this interrim lounge - will avoid TBIT in the future until this is resolved -this place ranks worse than some of the domestic lounges....dirty chairrs...etc...not enough air..

Alliance Lounge Access @ TBIT
No elite status or anything like that to speak of--but domestically I'm used to buying lounge day passes with whichever carrier I'm on (work expense) day-of.
Is it possible to do this at TBIT at one of the new alliance lounges (or any lounge, for that matter?) We're flying out on EVA, if that makes any difference. |
The only new lounge open so far is the Star Lounge.
The no alligned lounge is not open yet (eva is not in any alliance), probably towards the end of the year. So I think you are out of luck assuming you are flying in Y, but no harm in asking - let us know |
Not leaving until November, so maybe it'll be open by then?
Also, flying in L (Elite) class. Don't know if that'll make a difference or not. EVA wasn't much helpful last year, so I'm not expecting them to do us any favors. Didn't know if it was possible to utilize the lounge of an airline (or in this case, alliance) that you're not flying on that day. |
