The Centurion Lounge had a chicken and potatoes small plate, with a bowl of potatoes, one soup, and a small salad bar.

The AC was the new normal AC fare: two soups, and what I would describe as tapas style (not actual Spanish tapas) ... cheeses, hummus, beans, etc. I missed the guacamole.

In my view, this was a bit of a draw from the food perspective. Then again, these were the only times I've been in a Centurion Lounge so I'm not sure if the MIA experience is typical. I certainly wasn't overwhelmed. From a food perspective, if I had a choice between the OneWorld Premium Lounge at MIA and the Centurion Lounge, the OneWorld Premium Lounge is the clear food winner.

Then again ... there are some nice Cuban places in the airport

As of yesterday, the E Premium Lounge is now "temporarily closed for renovations." I have updated the wiki. It's a shame--the food and drink choices there were far better than the MIA ACs and it is never crowded.

That's really too bad. I liked being able to get soda out of a can instead of a fountain machine. And who doesn't like self pour (better) drinks?

The E Lounge closed is a bummer. If you are going out of high D or E Gates the D15 club is out of the way.

I'm traveling on Monday and just got an email that the club at D30 has reopened. Any pictures or experiences. I guess the Flagship lounge will still be my choice when I qualify. It also says the E club is open, an agent told me a couple of weeks ago they closed it just to change something in the kitchen. Email text:

Visit our lounges Miami International Airport The renovated Admirals Club® lounge at Gate D30 is now open, and we're excited to welcome you into our completely redesigned lounge.

Additionally, you can use the Admirals Club lounges located in Concourse E and at Gate D15.

No pics but very spacious now at the D30 club. Multiple food serving areas. Not sure if E is reopened but I’ll probably be going by there tonight to see.

What kind of "buzz" are you expecting? It's an Admiral's Club, not a first class lounge.

Hi folks -- will be flying business and connecting via Miami on my way to Brazil in a few weeks. After recent renovations, rule changes, etc., is there a hard-and-fast winner between D15, D30, Premium, and Flagship?
I have a 6-hour layover and am not sure it'll be worth an hour+ of transit to go to South Beach, etc., with my luggage, so I figure it's worth a little extra consideration.
Thank you!

Thanks, folks! Since that seems to be an "easy" decision, I'm guessing Premium is my second choice if I can't get into flagship?

That would be my suggestion.

Yes but remember the Premium Lounge in E doesn't open until 1PM. If you are at the airport before that hang out in D30 then move over at 1PM for better food options and self pour bar.
