A's "rainforest" showers are better than D, but D has more space in the shower area. C is similar to D but with fewer showers.

The A Shower is the best airport shower in the country I'd say.

How long is your layover? It may not be worth going to any club except for the one in your departing terminal.

- D
- A
- C
- B
However, if I have less time I'll just go with whatever is closest to my gate. They all have the same amount of free food and beverages, newspapers, computers and showers (minus B, they may not have showers).

I really like the B club as it is rarely crowded, but unfortunately it is rarely convenient for most of my connections. The D club is always crowded, but with the Amex Centurion club available, I now avoid D altogether.

I love all the DFW clubs and frequent them all. A has the best showers, B is the least busy, D has the biggest bar area. The staff rotates among clubs so that's not a factor: all of the AC AAngels are great. Usually I just go to the club nearest my departure gate.

I had the chance to visit my first Admirals Club yesterday at DFW and it was exciting. I always viewed the Club as something only the "rich and famous" are able to use, but thanks to the new Citi AA Mastercard, a peon like me can use it. They sure are marketing the new Citi card as "the only card that will get you in to the Admiral Club". There are banners and signs at every entrance. The AAngels were giving the card pamphlets to people walking in. I was surprised how busy these Clubs were (I visited A and D). The TV lounge in D was dirty, imho. Plastic cups and napkins on the floor, but it's a lounge, so I can forgive. D had a "cell-free" zone in the back which I enjoyed as some of the families did not keep their screaming kids in the Family section.
On the way home back to STL I stopped at the STL Admiral's Club before taking the metro (it's right next to the metrolink) and thought it was better than the DFW Clubs, but only because it was smaller and seemed more personable. What I liked about the STL club was there seemed to be more food choices (cheese, salad stuff, crackers and the usual trail mix stuff), including the soda fountain drinks which were self-serve. The bar was separate. The computer chairs were Aeron and the PCs were much faster, for some reason. I think it was also recently renovated as everything looked polished and waxed.
Too bad my upcoming flights from STL are all Southwest...I can't get to Terminal 1 (AA) from Terminal 2 without having to go through TSA again, can I?

As to STL, unless something has changed you can walk from WN to AA. It's a long walk though.
