I imagine a PP restaurant would be the most likely. I'd be thrilled with $28 to Pappadeaux! If Landry's ran any of the concessions there we might get one sooner because they operate the two PP restaurants at IAH and are already familiar with it, but Pappa's runs many of the restaurants at HOU. HOU is pretty space constrained so I have trouble seeing where an actual 3rd party lounge would go, never mind the commercial aspect of it.

Great list (post #9), thanks for the resource. One update I know about, the Mera lounges in Cancun are no longer priority pass. Apparently there is now something called "The Lounge" in CUN T2 and T4 that is priority pass but I have not tried one of those yet.

I was not happy that the priority pass restaurant at LAX terminal 1 was not accepting Priority Pass today. They claimed that it is because they are not operating as a full service restaurant right now. However; that reason does not make sense for not accepting Priority Pass. Additionally, when people eat "to go" food in the terminal anyway, under the same roof that the restaurant would be, so the restaurant area being closed does not make sense either (plus I was able to eat indoor at a restaurant last night, so I do not understand an argument that they are legally required to be closed.

The good news is that there is no longer a problem with unmet expectations. The bas news is that Priority Pass has dropped this restaurant (or vice versa, who knows), and the same is true for the restaurant in Terminal 6.

HankAAFlyer, you have done an amazing job keeping this thread up to date for all these years - thank you!
One quick comment about the Centurion Lounge in Charlotte: it is located at the "D" end of the connection between terminals D and E, which is a bit of a walk from terminal A (where the Southwest gates are located)...

IAH is not quite that far, but it is a solid 6-7 minutes to get from the Southwest gates in Terminal A to take the train to the lounge in Terminal D.

Just a quick note to confirm that MIA Terminal G (Southwest uses G9 & G11) cannot be accessed from any other terminal without re-clearing security. I was going to try to check out some of the lounges when I was there a few days ago, but ended up being able to move to an earlier flight.

I was there last week. It’s 15 mins by walking and train from WN gates (I timed it). I had eaten at the centurion lounge but I went there for a beer (which was good) but they had some decent burger/nachos sort of food offerings. There was a line to get in on Sunday evening. Probably 80% of people there were priority pass folks. I don’t think it’s worth the hike unless you have a lot of time.
