I think they made good use of the space they had but overcrowding will still be a problem during busier hours (purely a function of the induced demand from the lounges being so wonderful honestly), particularly around the entryway and hallway between the entrance and dining area. This is a wonderful improvement on the already-sterling original DFW Centurion Lounge.

The spa didn’t open until later so I missed out but will try to get back in soon to get some pictures of at least the spa for you. I’ve never been comfortable taking pictures inside a restroom because, well, it’s a restroom, and the showers were occupied while I was there. I didn’t get pics of any of them unfortunately. What about the bathrooms, showers, and spa? There are a few more seating options dotted around past the dining area as well. As much as I love the amenities of the space the design is one of my favorite parts of visiting a Centurion Lounge. Everywhere you look the interior design is on-brand, interesting, and visually distinctive. Past the dining area there’s yet another seating area, complete with a conference table next to the business center. There were again a wide variety of seating options available with power outlets alongside the windows so people could eat and charge their devices. (The bar was closed because, well, it was 5:40am) The seating areas are nice and there are a wide variety, which should suit solo travelers as well as families.Įventually you’ll arrive at the dining/bar area, which is much larger than the original club. If you turn left when you enter the Lounge you’ll walk down a long and narrow hallway with myriad seating options (I could see this becoming a congestion point with people having luggage strewn about). I thought that the inclusion of some larger chaise lounge seats in this seating area was a nice touch, although with increasingly strict restrictions on when someone can enter the Lounge I’m not sure if anyone would ever have time to use them. The showers are located in this direction too (you need to speak with the reception desk to arrange for a shower). To the left will be the dining area and bar, to the right is quite a bit of seating as well as a coffee station. When you walk in you’ll immediately have to make a choice, left or right. There’s a quick elevator ride up to the lounge, where you’re greeted by familiar wooden finishes as well as the living wall that’s common for all Centurion Lounges (with an updated mural-esque installation just behind the reception desk. Go through security, turn left, and you’ll see a big blue wall with an illuminated entryway beckoning you to enter. It’s on the mezzanine level of the airport basically right above the D15 security checkpoint. The new Centurion Lounge is located in terminal D at DFW, not far from the old one. (I seriously didn’t have very much time to visit the lounge so I apologize if the pictures aren’t up to my usual standard) Lounge Location I had the chance to visit the lounge yesterday and thought I’d give you a quick look. Mercifully American Express decided to just build a new lounge for DFW, which opened recently. The DFW club, even though it had loads of seating and 12000 square feet of space, was particularly susceptible to overcrowding during the trans-Atlantic departure windows in the afternoons and the middle eastern flights in the mornings. They were a bit too popular, though, and, as should’ve been expected if we’re completely honest, overcrowding became an issue. They represent a unique value proposition for holders of the Amex Platinum and Centurion cards and were an immediate hit when they began popping up a few years ago. What started out as an innocent little haven at DFW has grown to nine lounges across the world (for current list of all the Centurion Lounges you can visit the American Express landing page for the lounge network here). American Express has really knocked it out of the park with their Centurion Lounge network.
