How are the Term D showers compared to A? I've always heard A was great so I always go there (and they are nice!). How much of a downgrade are Term D showers? Anyone happen to have pics?

I have a DFW-ICN flight coming up next week. I'm assuming the smoker's lounge in D is closed - does anyone have any current info on the smoking lounge in A?
Thanks!
Thanks!

No pics, but the D showers are nothing different or better than the usual showers in any other AC (except for Terminal A). They get the job done and certainly aren't bad, but I will always go out of my way to use the A showers if I have time in DFW. Yes, they're worth it.

I was just there yesterday, still open and a bit more crowded than usual due to closure of D. I actually emailed the staff a few weeks ago to inquire your very question, and was told there are currently no plans to close the lounge in A.

Thanks. DFW-A is the only AC I've used showers at, so I don't know what "usual" equals. If anyone has or can grab pics, I'd appreciate it before my next trip next month as I will likely want to use the showers, but will probably stay in D unless I decide to go to A for the shower.

Any news/updates on the temp Flagship Lounge @ DFW-D?
I flew through DFW this week, but on both connections didn't have time to swing by the AC in D. I know they are working on a temporary Flagship Lounge, supposedly inside the AC, so I was wondering if anyone has heard on the progress?

I connected through DFW to OKC last month, and I wish I would have done some reading before visiting the B AC. It was the most convenient (I thought) because I was departing from B32, but finding it was a challenge. The AC is around B3, and all the gates beyond B12ish are covered up for construction. You have to walk down a white hallway, without really knowing how far you have left because you can't gauge distance on gate numbers as they aren't shown. Also, it was a bit underwhelming when I got there. Definitely nice and quiet, but not worth the trek during a 90-120 connection.
With the Skylink, I could have easily stopped at another AC on my way from Terminal C to B. Lesson learned.

I'd not avoid the other shower suites, as they're decent and serviceable - but the A showers, in what used to be the DFW Arrivals Lounge, are superb. And there's the small gym, adjacent.
I miss the old "A" days with Flagship and Arrivals lounges.

I do wonder if under AA's new mainline "big planes at A, smaller planes at C" if the A AC will become more crowded?
They're also better than the Centurion Lounge showers, which had some EXTREMELY inconsistent water temperature when I had most recently used them, going from cold to scalding hot and back without any adjustment of the water controls.

How much time should I allow for getting to Terminal D from the AC at A? I'm trying to squeeze in my daily 10km jog before the AA137 to HK on an I ticket but worried I will run out of time.

Signs are up in the A23 club that the lounge (actual phrasing is all Admirals Clubs) are going smoke-free 12/31/15. As a non-smoker, this does not directly impact me, but wanted to share to those that depend on the lounge.

I'm a non-smoker (and tbh I abhor smoking), but I was never much personally bothered by the smoking lounges. Positive move overall (but that's more of an OMNI P/R comment), but logistically few airports have anywhere to smoke anymore airside.
