[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two lounges - one is grab-and-go and open to everyone but you get the discount as referenced.  The other is for cardholders only and will accept reservations.  I'm not sure how great it's going to be given that.  I live so close to DCA that I'll never arrive early enough to really care about lounge access, but for those that do, don't expect to walk in.[/quote]

The more I read about the details, I really like this setup because it hopefully sets realistic expectations.  Because you can make reservations up to 6 months in advance, you can do it say right after you book your plane ticket.  Let's say you have a flight at 1:30 PM- this will be perfect because you make a noon reservation for lunch, eat for 45 minutes, and not need to get to the airport much earlier, knowing you won't have a wait to get in, etc.  Right now its hard to assume you will have lounge access if you get to the airport say 75 minutes before your flight, but you end up with a 30 minute wait to get in.

I think this is a good system because it means fewer people will try and walk in, so less disappointment.  But you still get some benefit by having the discounted food options, which look really good, and the prices with the 50% discount look like they are around $6-8 for a salad or sandwich, which is a very good value especially if the quality is kept up and above what you can get in the terminal.[/quote]
