Shower in ATL after Intl flight?

I am flying TLV-ATL and arriving at about 6AM. I have a morning meeting in and then drive to another city, so no hotel stay in Atlanta.

Is there a way to use the SkyClub to shower in ATL? I am PM and have an Amex Platinum Card.

Thanks.

Does the wait run more than an hour? Also, do I need to go through security again to get to the SkyClub in E once I get through customs/passport control?

Don't know about wait for shower but yes, you will clear customs/passport control AND security before you can go to the Sky Club in E.

Quite a few flights arrive first thing in the morning. GRU, GIG, EZE, SCL, UIO, LIM, MAO, TLV, DXB, JNB come to mind. Plus all the domestic red-eyes — probably many fewer pax trying to use the showers from domestic flights but likely some (esp. if the flight arrives in E, such as HNL).

Took me about 30 mins to get through the immigration line (which has inspired be to get Global Entry), and then I was quoted ~60-90 mins for a shower at the E CRC. There are just two of them.

You'll have to clear security in ATL regardless (it is a little weird)

On a similar note, does anybody know what the shower wait time is like for an int'l flight arriving around 5:30pm on a Wed? My sister and her fiance have a flight in a few months:
ATH-ATL-OAK. Connect time in ATL is 2.5 hrs.

Thanks
