Best club at DFW?
 

The one closest to the gate for your departing flight.

Cent lounge

new AC in A is the nicest.

see above

Besides being crowded it's better than any AC, bar none.

No Admirals club in the airport is worth a terminal transfer if the terminal you're in already has a club (with the exception of maybe avoiding the tiny club in B if it's crowded).

Assuming you're already in the same terminal you're departing from...
- If you are in A, go to the A club.
- If you are in B (low gates), just go to the B club.
- If you are in B (high gates), go to the A club if you have plenty of time.
- If you are in C, go to the C club.
- If you are in D, just find a bar.
- If you are in E, I'm sorry.

That sums it up nicely....

This made me snort a bit. One of those times something hits you just right. :D

It's 10:30am in DFW? I'd schlepp over to Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen at gate A25 and have a fantastic meal.

You've got four hours. :)

None of them are really nice except for the new one in A. The rest feel like a 1990s marriot in my opinion. If you have Centurion access then its nice but can be crowded and food selection has gone down hill a bit.

I was in that Centurion recently. It was absolutely packed. It's also kind of long and narrow, making it that much harder to maneuver. If it hadn't been so busy (and it got even worse after I arrived), I suppose it would have been pretty nice.

Sure, A is new, but too shiny/bright and open IMO. Fine for a typical short visit but after 30 minutes there, I feel like I am just in a mall atrium.

B is kind of cramped, and has few working electrical outlets. But, for some reason if I was to sit at the bar, the coziness of B is preferred to the alternatives.

I suppose I am in the minority, but given the three ACs right now, I find C the most comfortable if I was stuck at DFW for an extended period of time. Typically, it is easy to find a quiet area (except near the bar), and the light is subdued.

The bar at the Hyatt Regency is the best club.

Well, if we are going landside, I'd hit up the Grand Hyatt's 'living room' bar/food service.

I avoid D in the mid-afternoon to early evening due to traffic count and the associated noise.

D has the PP lounges and Centurion as options, E has a United Club and Delta Sky Club. Both clubs in E are on par with or better than AA clubs. Clubs in E are far less crowded and offer a break from the lame cheese cubes, stale cookies, and low rent trail mix stuff the AA clubs pass off as food.

I'm certainly no AA apologist but you are dead wrong. AA has fresh guac stations now, hot mexican food buffet items, two soups, salads and mini sandwiches.

You should abolutely hit the "Premium" lounge in D, if possible, just to truly understand how AA defines that word.

😁

Now that D is closed for renovations I'd say just go to the AC closest to your gate.

I was at ORD C two weeks ago and they had tortillas, a skillet of ground cooked beef, and bowls of all the fixins'.

I was at DFW - A on Monday around 6:30 p.m. and they had two soups available.

Food at Centurion has definitely gone downhill. Especially breakfast although the fresh fruit, e.g. blackberries, are good. This week, the dire institutional scrambled eggs.

Seriously? Any french toast? Greek yogurt? Quiche? Bacon?

What's going on in that lounge?

Where/when does one find these items at DFW?

Generally, I just go to whatever club is closest to my gate. That means that I spend a lot of time in the Terminal B club, for which I have a soft spot. However, if you have time to kill and are through DFW a lot it is worth investing in an American Express Platinum so you can have access to the Centurion Lounge in Terminal D. If you only want Admiral's Clubs and have time, I also like . It has a room past the bar in which I have never seen another person. I like the quiet.

What was the purpose of posting that video of the now-closed Admiral's Club in Terminal D at DFW?
