The lav at ORD G is to your far right (as you enter the club), past the bar, at the end of the hallway.

What’s the setup for D lounge access for business class pax to Asia in the morning? Does the makeshift lounge have self serve drinks?

They have been moved. Now when you walk in they are all the way to the right.

Also, the wifi is unusable. This is the 2nd time I've been at this club and the 2nd time I've had to tether with my Iphone. Club can't handle the bandwith at all

Longe access in DFW on mixed class itinerary

I'm not an all that regular AA flyer so I'm not familiar with the rules so here a question to the audience:

I've bought a ticket on AA YVR-DFW-EZE rtn.

The legs between YVR and DFW are in Premium Economy and the DFW-EZE-DFW legs are in paid J. Do I get lounge access in DFW on the way to EZE (after having travelled on the Premium Eco leg YVR-DFW) and, going in the other direction, do I get lounge access in DFW when I land after the EZE to DFW leg?

What can I expect in the lounge at DFW. I have a nearly 6 hour layover on the YVR-DFW-EZE trip and four hours on the way back. Are there showers in the lounge at DFW?

Follow up question:

On the way back I'll be arriving in Buenos Aries at AEP in the morning (on a separate AR ticket) and not leaving EZE 'till 08:00 pm. What time does the AA lounge at EZE open?

Thanks
FL

You'll have lounge access in DFW both direction due to your J ticket. Unfortunately, your options are not great, relatively speaking. There is a temp "premium" lounge in terminal D for qualified pax (which you qualify for), and the regular Admiral's Clubs at the other terminals.

I will have a connecting flight in DFW going to Shanghai. Have close to 3 hours at DFW and also have Priority Pass. I also have the option to route through ORD, but the connection is only 1 hour and 20 minutes and with changing terminals and kids with me, it'll be too hectic. So with Priority Pass I will have access to the Club at DFW. Any insight as to how it is now? I've read that its at temporary location till this summer and its not worth going there.

You would not need to change terminals at ORD going to Shanghai. All AA departures are out of Terminal 3.

thanks for the info. I did not know that. Looking at Priority Pass locations at ORD, they only have 2 in terminal 5. And with a short connection even if it were to be in terminal 3 we may or may not be able to go. Hoping that the Club at DFW will be a good choice!

Last weekend I used the newly renovated A Admirals Club for my first time. I was very impressed even if it meant losing the beloved showers.







The Coke Freestyle machine is a nice touch





There is both a Quiet Room and Kids Room next to it



One of two TV rooms



Full business center

In contrast, here's the hilarious PP Accepting The Club at DFW:



Ever wanted to feel like you were in a zoo exhibit? This is your shot.

So what's the deal with there being no Flagship/Premium lounge at DFW? I'm flying QF J on Monday and trying to understand what the best options are for lounge access before the flight, because I know it isn't the 3rd party shoeboxes that QF/EK/etc use, so I'm trying to decide between the Amex lounge and AA. Am I correct in assuming the one in D is the best? Or am I probably best off to just stay in the Centurion Lounge? I'm driving up from Houston so god knows I'll have enough time to kill and move around before the flight. Also if anybody happens to know what time the QF counters open, that would be useful. I'm assuming T-3, but could be wrong.

Leave the airport and go to Coppers BBQ in Fort Worth.

That said, Admirals WAY better than Centurion (except MAYBE that Centurion gives some free food and has a little spa).

Read the Wiki in this thread and you'll see the current location of the "temporary" Flagship lounge. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...e-changes.html

Unless there is some fantastic soundproofing, I can't image the Quiet Room being very quiet.
