Best lounge access / cc for STL & DAL
I am currently switching from DL to WN. I use SkyClubs in ATL at the moment. In the future will be connecting mostly in DAL and STL. Occasionally MDW, PHX, or LAS.
What is the best CC offer or membership to get lounge access in those airports, especially in terminals frequented by WN passengers?

I suspect there won't be much. The Amex Platinum seems to have the best overall coverage, and it has nothing in DAL and only restaurants (via Priority Pass) in STL.

Delta and Southwest have been squabbling over gates Southwest purchased from United with assumed rents but Delta was leasing from United. The airport is capped at 20 gates by the Wright Amendment to protect DFW.

The Wright Amendment (former Speaker Jim Wright) was written to protect DFW from competition by limiting the gate capacity and restricting Love Field flights to the 4 adjoining states with no through ticketing. Neighborhood noise was not an issue addressed by the original version of the Wright Amendment. I have lived just east of Love Field for more than 20 years with my neighborhood having town halls to discuss the last expansion. Ft Worth closed their airport when DFW opened because the location south of DFW at Amon Carter Blvd and 183. The property has a Ft Worth address even though the property is not connected to the city proper.
