Escape Lounge OAK
Looks like Oakland will finally land a lounge this summer. Like the recently opened lounge in MSP it will be pay-per-use. I hope that it joins Priority Pass or American Express Platinum like its sister lounges in Europe and the Airspace lounges in the US.

Interesting. I wonder where they will put it. I figure it will almost certainly be airside, but beyond that it's hard to say where it will be. Regardless, the airport is small enough that it will be a short walk wherever you are airside.

I certainly hope this is Priority Pass affiliated. If not, I'll likely just end up continuing to either camp out with a beverage at the T1 Starbucks or the T2 Vino Volo.

Old tower is no more so it won't be in there unfortunately. Maybe that empty space near gate 8/8A/bar? Although it's really needed in T2 - it's often at max capacity with no seating in any bar/restaurant area. They lose out on business because of that.

$45 ($40 in advance) and other side of the terminal from the WN gates . . . I'm having a hard time seeing how they're going to make this work.
Plus, I think most OAK flyers time their arrival at the airport as close to departure as possible.
