Terminal D Admirals Club (with its not quite Flagship First Dining) closed 7 April 2018 (concurrently with the reopening of the refurbished Terminal A Admirals Club). The new D Club reopened 16 May 2019 encompassing a Flagship Lounge that will serve qualifying passengers of AA, BA, QF, QR (instead of their operating contract lounges), an Admirals Club and Flagship First Dining facility.
This interim ad hoc but spacious Premium Lounge now has its liquor license; some report there are a few showers.
The new Terminal D Admirals Club, Flagship Lounge and Flagship First Dining facility is OPEN. This thread is now archived. Please follow and discuss the facility here: Dallas DFW “D” Admirals Club, Flagship Lounge, Flagship First Dining 16 May 2019
Reimagining our lounges
An update on what’s next at DFW
We know you travel through Dallas Fort Worth often. And we can’t wait for you to experience our all-new Terminal D Admirals Club®, Flagship® Lounge and Flagship® First Dining in 2019.
To complete construction sooner, we’ve temporarily closed the Admirals Club lounge and International First Class Dining in Terminal D.
You’ll still have several Admirals Club lounges at DFW:
* NOW OPEN: Terminal A (near gate A24) (fully opened 7 Apr 2018)
* Terminal B (near gate B4)
* Terminal C (near gate C19)
*If you’re traveling on a qualifying international First or Business ticket* or have qualifying status**, you can visit our temporary Premium Lounge in Terminal D (near gate D36).
The interim “Premium Lounge” across from gate D36 is now open for qualified international passengers (not Admirals Club members on non-Flagship or Admirals Lounge qualifying flights):
*Includes international flights between the U.S. and Asia, Australia, Central America, Europe, Mexico City (MEX), New Zealand and South America
**Includes AAdvantage® Executive Platinum, Platinum Pro and Platinum status departing on or connecting to a qualifying international flight (between the U.S. and Asia, Australia, Central America, Europe, Mexico City MEX, New Zealand and South America) marketed and operated by American or a oneworld® carrier (regardless of cabin). ConciergeKeySM and oneworld (excl AAdvantage) Emerald/Sapphire members get access when traveling the same day on any flight marketed and operated by American or a oneworld airline (regardless of cabin).

the AC is far better anyways. The biggest question about the premium lounge is where to put the quotes... "premium lounge" or "premium" lounge or premium "lounge"

When talking about the is lounge, not putting premium in quotes is clearly wrong.

I was ready to spend some quality time in the "Premium" lounge this morning, but my NRT flight (AA 175) is out of A34! I thought this was strange as AA175 always leaves from D25 - there are not even any Duty Free shops in the A terminal.

The A lounge is far superior to the temporary "Flagship" lounge in D.

The gods have smiled on you for being able to use the A Admiral's Club vs. the "Premium" "Lounge".

I was coming here to check for this exact thing when I saw the headline. I almost always connect through B, so have really been enjoying the free premium drinks. I even go out of my way to go to B if my layover is long enough.

I used to do the same... back before AA flooded DFW with Eagle flights. It was so quiet and nice in the B AC. Now, it's almost always full to the gills... at least when I've gone through during normal daytime hours.

Question: Would a PlatPro on a paid Biz ticket between DFW-MEX(I believe MEX is the one exception), get Flagship Lounge access? Would they be able to take 1 guest traveling on the same itinerary?
