The most popular option is to use the Platinum Card, Business Platinum Card, or Corporate Platinum Card. Each of these cards provides an entrance for the cardholder and up to two guests at no charge. AMEX is updating the guest policy for these cards on February 1, 2023, to only allow the cardholder entry. They will still be able to enjoy this guesting policy after February 1, 2023.Īdditional guests are $50 USD each.ĪMEX Centurion Members (an invite-only American Express membership) can also access the lounge with up to two guests or any number of the immediate family. The last way to get complimentary entrance to Centurion Lounges is with the Delta SkyMiles Reserve or Reserve Business Card. Centurion Lounges are departure lounges only.Other important entrance rules that have been put in place to limit crowding are: These cards allow entrance for the cardholder only when traveling on a same-day Delta flight. Centurion Lounges will prohibit admission greater than 3 hours prior to your departure time.They will not admit you upon arrival, unless you have an onward connecting flight. The entrance to the American Express lounge is located in Terminal D at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport near Gate D12. The DFW airport interconnects all terminals via the Skylink Tram. If arriving by Skylink tram from another terminal, exit at the stop for gates D1 – D22. Upon exiting the Skylink, head towards gates D10/D12. Gate D10 is located immediately ahead at the base of the Skylink platform escalators.

Upon turning right towards gate D12, a concourse with restaurants and shops will be located on the right. The entrance to the DFW Centurion Lounge is located on this concourse on the right-hand side as one walks away from gate D12.

The entrance to the lounge is an elevator that takes visitors to the mezzanine level where the actual check-in desk is located.ĭuring my most recent visit to the lounge, there was a line for check-in with approximately five groups in front of me. While this was my first indication of how popular and crowded the lounge would be (more on that later), the check-in process was efficient. The front desk staff quickly moved through the line. I checked in and headed into the lounge within 3 minutes. The DFW Centurion Lounge has a wide yet compact floorplan that spans a part of the mezzanine in Terminal D. Upon entering, a hallway past the check-in desk leads directly into the main seating areas of the lounge. Once in the seating areas, turning right will lead to some smaller private sitting areas, the spa, and the showers. The seating areas in this section are mainly one seat each with high partitions between them. These are appropriate for individuals traveling alone or those that desire some privacy while in the lounge. During my visit, these also seemed popular for those who were catching some sleep.įurther into the lounge was the main food service buffet and the bar. This area has several sections of the bar and high-top seating. In addition to the seating at the main bar, multiple alcoves contain bar seating overlooking the terminal. The alcove seating is perfect for individuals or small groups. Each seat provides power plugs which make the area perfect for working with a laptop. A large communal table is positioned near the bar. However, the remainder of the seating in the dining area seats two or four.įinally, at the far end of the lounge is another seating area that is more appropriate for quiet and business use. This end of the lounge features some small conference rooms, a large public conference table, printers, and computers.

There is also some individual seating with high privacy sides at this end of the lounge as in the section near the spa and showers.
