Sorry for asking a stupid question but I searched and can’t find the answer. I’m flying from SYD to BWI via DWF on a Qantas ticket. QF metal out of SYD and AA metal out of DWF. I have an 8 hour layover so wouldn’t mind getting a day pass for the AC lounge and getting a shower. Here’s the question: AC website says day passed are not available for purchase at DFW lounges. If I buy a day pass online before my flight, can I still use it at the DFW lounges?
If the AC lounges aren’t an option, any other recommendations on how to spend 8 hours?

AA has said there will be an AC "in the satellite," but no further details were provided.
It was discussed on their "Tell Me Why" podcast that discussed the opening of the satellite.
Other notes that were already known:

Other notes that were already known:
- 9 regional gates on B will become 6 mainline gates
- There will be 12 regional gates in the satellite
- The AA-controlled gates in the main building of E will remain
- The satellite gates will primarily be single-class aircraft, while 2-class aircraft will be concentrated out of B. (Whether Skywest stays in E or moves to B was unclear.)

DFW AA Lounge Options, B Concourse
Going through DFW on AA award tickets. World Elite AA Card holder. Reviews seem to slag B Concourse Admirals Lounge as not good. Any better choice for a 1-1.5 hour layover? How long to walk to Centurion Lounge from B? Priority Pass choices better than either AA or Centurion? Just not yet familiar with DFW, so newbie questions.
Thanks in advance for suggestions!

At DFW no gate is farther than ten minutes away because of the Skylink train.

Luggage Storage
Couldn’t find any recent details and I’ve never really stopped long enough to look - is there anywhere to store luggage in any of the DFW ACs?
Need to leave the secured area for a few hours tomorrow and would rather not have to schlep bags through security. I’m comfortable with cubby’s but would prefer not to just leave bags in a chair.
TIA!

Flying SFO-DFW-GRU in J in a few weeks. I assume only Admirals Clubs will still be open? I saw someone mention that the "C" club currently has the best food&beverage, but it seems the GRU flight leaves from D. Is it worth the trek to C? (5 hour layover)
I also have Priority Pass, if any of their options are better.

Your flight will likely leave from D, but there is a chance it could leave from A. It is not worth the trek from D to C for the upgraded options as your Priority Pass grants you access to The Club in the D Terminal with hot food and better quality drinks than the complimentary drinks in the Admiral's Clubs.

DFW-D is pretty lame as of late.....I love the views but having been there multiple times throughout the day and hearing that C has better amenities at the same exact times is weird.
AA just needs to be transparent about the hours in which they’re offering these enhanced food items and where. I don’t see it at DCA-C or DFW-D....2 AA hubs so there’s no excuse. It’s not like I’m expecting eggs and avocado toast at MCO.
