If you have an Amex Platinum card try the Amex Centurion Lounge - Concourse E, near Gate E11

Not tried it yet, but only been open since February

I’ve already been in Jan 24 won’t be going back to ATL anytime soon

The new Centurion lounge in ATL is indeed very nice but unfortunately, and probably due to the poor state of all other lounges, completely overloaded. Peak late afternoon and evening hours are already generating significant queues to enter.

maybe a strategy would be to go to the Admiral Club first until it close and then go to The Centurion one? When I travel from Heathrow T3, i tried to visit the Qantas (cocktails and snack, and/or Breakfast if before 12:00) and Cathay (dim sum) lounges and then grab a quick cocktail from The Centurion before I go to the gate.

I have also played the lounge hopping game but generally I’d rather just camp down somewhere good and stay there. Perhaps on extended delays where multiple meal times are covered I might move but otherwise just want to chill. In LHR T3 first choice would always be CX First due to my OW Emerald.

In ATL there is not really any acceptable chill option. There is no TSA-pre in the international terminal where you must check in if flying BA so wildly variable security wait times have you at the airport early. You have the choice of a long wait for the centurion plus a long walk or train ride there and back or the chaos of The Club. I actively make an effort to avoid ATL these days, which is difficult because Master Tafflyer now lives there with Tafflyer mini.
