Just keep in mind they are currently only located at select airports.What Are American Express Centurion Lounges?Īmerican Express Centurion Lounges are a global network of high-end airport lounges with 12 locations in the U.S. If you are a current American Express Platinum or Centurion card holder I definitely recommend visiting a Centurion Lounge.
#DALLAS CENTURION LOUNGE FULL#
For our trip we failed to eat prior to taking our flight to Dallas so it was nice to get a full meal at the lounge for free. Using the lounge definitely helps justify the annual fee considering how much you are saving in food/drink at the airport. I love having access to the Centurion Lounge from my Platinum card. The DFW American Express Centurion Lounge is an excellent space to relax before a flight, especially a long international flight. The spa is complimentary, but tips are definitely appreciated. If you are lucky enough to receive an appointment you receive a complimentary 15-minute spa treatment of your choosing. For longer layovers the receptionists offer an available spa time, but I’ve rarely been offered an appointment for layovers less than 2 hours. Guests must schedule a spa visit upon checking into the Centurion Lounge and availability is very limited. The DFW Centurion Lounge offers the Exhale Spa. I’ve never had a long enough layover to take advantage of this amenity, but it is good to know the lounges offers showers if needed. Surprisingly the DFW Centurion Lounge also features showers. There is a drink menu, but the bartender is happy to make any custom drink per your request. Also, the Centurion Lounge offers a complimentary full-service bar with a wide variety of wines, beers, and mixed drinks. In fact, I opted to fill my water bottle with the infused water for the flight. During our visit the rotating beverage was a grapefruit infused water which was delicious. Most offers ice water, tea, and a rotating beverage. Located throughout the lounge are various beverage stations. The buffet also maintains a consistent salad bar which varies slightly from visit to visit. On the day of our visit the buffet featured spicy creamed corn, breaded seasoned chicken, jelly glazed pork, and a strawberry shortcake dessert. One major difference between traditional domestic airline lounges and the Amex Centurion Lounge is the food/beverage offerings.Įach Centurion lounge features regionally inspired food from signature chefs. DFW Centurion Lounge AmenitiesĪs with nearly all airport lounges the American Express Centurion Lounge offers plenty of seating (sometimes), complimentary WiFi, complimentary beverages, complimentary food, and an overall enhanced airport experience. The guest policy was more generous to families, but due to overwhelming demand and limited space the card issuer recently ‘enhanced’ the guest policy. Eligible card holders can also bring guest into the lounge. Amex limits the number of guests to two per eligible card holder. All other American Express card holders can access the Centurion lounge by purchasing a $50 day pass.
#DALLAS CENTURION LOUNGE HOW TO#
How To Access The Centurion LoungeĪmerican Express Centurion Lounges are free to existing American Express Platinum and Centurion card holders. Once you’re in Terminal D the lounge is located near Gate D17 and is access via an escalator. If arriving/departing from other terminals it’s best to assume the entire trip to Terminal D takes 30 minutes. Just watch out for dog poop! Keep in mind it takes about 15 minutes to get anywhere at DFW airport. Getting to the lounge is fairly easy from any terminal thanks to the SkyLink. The American Express Centurion Lounge at DFW airport is located in Terminal D. We were lucky to have left early to make our connecting flight, but it also gave us even more time to explore the Centurion Lounge in Dallas. Luckily when we arrived at Chicago O’Hare airport the American Airlines gate agent informed us that our originally scheduled flight was delayed due to a maintenance issue. Our original itinerary included a 1.5 hour stop in Dallas before boarding our flight to Paris, but we decided to try to get an earlier flight to Dallas due to Chicago weather. The reason for the stop was to hop on and experience American’s new Premium Economy on the 789 aircraft, but it also gave us some time to visit my favorite airport lounge, the American Express Centurion Lounge. On the way to Paris for our trip I planned a scheduled stop at Dallas Fort-Worth Airport (DFW).
