No Amex Platinum for access to the Centurion Lounge? Or Capital One Venture X for access to the Capital One Lounge? (Both are in D.)

The Venture X card is essentially free, if you can utilize the annual $300 credit on the Capital One travel portal.

club.

Have you even checked the One World Lounge data base on what lounges are available at DFW?

Here's a review of the DFW Capital One Lounge, in case you'd consider getting another credit card:

I flew BA F recently ex-DFW and was surprised how good the flagship dining was (by lounge standards, of course, not restaurant standards). The primary area of the lounge isn’t as good, but still decent. No reason to venture anywhere else IMHO.

agreed. For some reason I thought access was only granted to those on AA metal.

I *think* the old "The Club DFW" area that also housed various small flex lounges for the foreign flag carriers is now the Capital One Lounge.
If that's the case, are there no more lounges at DFW for any of the foreign flag carriers?

I just noticed this comment. I'm pretty sure the Flagship Lounge has Stone IPA, which I find to be a pretty good IPA (with an ABV of 6,9%).

FL Self pour + plenty of meal choices outside + runway views =

Im a vegetarian, so outside of breakfast, the standard lounge food is snack worthy at best. Even FFD was borderline.

This must have been what I was thinking as I swore I had seen a BA lounge (and others) nested in this area. I thought I was losing my mind but after reading my first issue of AARP, I see that it's common with people of my generation.

ETA: I found photo proving mind isn't entirely gone.

The QF section, though operated by a 3rd party, welcomed any non-AA oneworld sapphire and emerald members before any oneworld flight, based on the QF website description then. Back in the days when sapphire members only had access to the Admirals Club (and I think DFW didn't have a Flagship lounge then?), the QF section of this lounge was a much nicer place for me when I transited in DFW, and I was here several times.

Interesting. For whatever reason, I thought all the lounges in that cluster were interchangeable and they just changed the airline logo on the screen next to each entrance door to whatever airline it was representing at that moment.
In any case, does anyone know if any of this facility still exists or has it all been taken over by the Capital One Lounge?

I recalled there were different partitions reserved for different airlines. When I went to the front desk, they were usually unsure whether I was allowed access. They would (sometimes I had to push them to) refer me to the receptionist in front of the QF partition to scan me in.
