@ Carlos -- It sure seems to be, based on the Priority Pass website, and also based on the location of the former Flagship Lounge.
Is this taking the place of the current VIP Lounge in Terminal E? When you look at Priority Pass it suggests that a new permanent location was opening up in the fall of 2019, so I'm presuming they mean this will now be a Turkish Airlines lounge?
Finally! A lounge in the third world country that is Concourse E! I get sick to my stomach just smelling the Pizza Hut and looking at the World Wide Cafe that looks like someone dropped it into the terminal straight from the 1970's.
But seriously, Concourse E sucks.
"As is standard with Turkish Airlines outstation lounges, the Turkish Airlines Lounge Miami belongs to Priority Pass."
TK lounge at VKO (Moscow) is not Priority Pass lounge
I wonder why TK is in Terminal E. They should be in Terminal J with other star alliance carriers.
Is this not the AC that was in E that had self-serve champagne from 1300-2200?
I think BA used it too.
Great opportunity when flying Qatar AW, if one has access to Priority Pass lounges. QR departs from the high E's (train access) but sends its passengers to the AA Flagship lounge at gate 30, quite far away. I believe that BA, IB and the like also use the high E's, and the former "Admiral Club turned Premium lounge for those airlines at the root of E, airside, is now closed. No idea whether closed for good or for refurbishment.
This comment started my day off with a very big laugh out loud - thank you!

we can’t wait to overcrowd this place
Can I visit multiple Priority Pass restaurants or lounges in the same airport before departure? For example in MIA, can I go dine in Viena before security check? Then later I visit Turkish Airline lounge after going thru TSA.
There's another proper PP lounge that opened in Concourse E recently. It's a temporary lounge located in the "high" E gates. So, this is not the "first “traditional” Priority Pass lounge in Concourses D & E".
To the comment above... Turkish is not moving to FLL. That rumor was nothing more than a rumor.
They opened a lounge at JFK last month also.
TK runs them in association with Turkish airport operator TAV.
Loving this lounge although a tad difficult to find. Many airport employees have no idea where it is. Enter e terminal gates 1-? Turkish on right. Carry luggage up stairs. Two rooms. Hot, cold food, serve yourself alcohol (wine beer liquor!), and seating in main. Second room to sit work. Although crowded very quiet. Staff constantly cleaning. Thumbs up!!
Ok I was in E Saturday and saw the new lounge. Can confirm it is post security. Its opposite the elevator to the Admirals Club which is currently closed for renovations. It's on the left side (before duty free) over where the restrooms are. I still, like others, simply dont understand why it would be in E if they leave from J. I've heard nothing about them moving to E or D and frankly theres likely not enough gate space for them. @Ben please do provide an update when you can an answer to this. It's a real head scratcher
Lounge was awful and greeted by an extremely rude woman at around 12:10pm on Friday November 3rd. She denied me access even though I had not one but TWO ways to gain access. She just wanted to be a person in control, and after I spent over an hour outside the lounge gathering every document on god's planet, was given access once she was away on break, only because a mature male was taking people in. What a complete disgrace and disrespectful individual she was, she needs to be fired for not being more helpful. Plus, the entire lounge are, once I was finally approved after an hour of research and proving my identity, was a dirty filthy pit. I would AVOID this lounge at all cost, and hope that Priority Members be ware, this is not a place where you want to enjoy some relaxation before a flight, as you will surely be dissapointed.
I am traveling on Emirates next week from Miami to Bogota......have platinum Amex....do I quilified for access to your lounge??
