They were closed last month and I'd assume the same since it seems like nothing has become less restrictive. They also use covid as an excuse but seems like it's really about lack of staff since I don't get how being in a room alone is a covid risk while drinking at the bar isn't.

Personally like D, has good views of the widebodies coming in and out. And it seems to be the more "modern" of the lot.
Though, for that long of a layover.... I have gone to the AC at the terminal I arrive at to use the restroom, grab a drink, charge phone for an hour, etc. and then can head out to another AC as it works for ongoing flight / preference for longer sitting and relaxing.
In 7 hours, you could easily hit up all of them and decide which one you like the most!
Did that one day too, a drink and snack at each one with a healthy walk between them.

I like C best on the inside. But have to concede there is no view.
But even for a long layover I would say go to the departure terminal whatever it is. . . .and be sure to check confirm with some frequency the gate and terminal have not changed. (That happens at DFW. Sometimes on very short notice. Although not as much as it used to).
Also DFW is quite prone to boarding early. They often are all but done at T-30. Don't cut it too close.

My rankings: D, B, C, A.
A stands for AAlways crowded. Used to have arguably the best airline showers, period. Now, meh. Thanks, Discount Dougie.

Admirals Clubs or Centurion Lounge
I'm disappointed that we won't be able to access the Flagship lounge for our DFW-LIM flight, so I'm wondering what's the next best lounge. I can access all Admirals clubs or some lounges with my Platinum card. I've narrowed it down to an Admirals club or the Centurion lounge.
Anyone recommend one over the other? I'm guessing the Centurion lounge has better food, but I've heard it can get packed at DFW.

Seriously though, if you have access to the Capital One lounge adjacent to the Flagship Lounge it is a much better experience. It is starting to get a little busy before evening international flights because some airlines are having their biz class passengers use this as a lounge but still never had a problem finding a seat or waiting in long lines for food or drinks like the Centurion lounge.

BA Club or AA AC at DFW D
Flying business on the beluga. I can speak for the admirals club of course but since I’ll be flying BA I can access their club too. Is it worth visiting?
