Key features include American's new-style lounge design, views of downtown Austin and the airport, distinct zones for dining and working, and the first outdoor terrace in the Admirals Club network. Construction is scheduled to begin this year, though no official opening date has been set; the author estimates late 2027 or 2028 based on typical project timelines.
