Airport Lounges at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)
- American Airlines' second-largest hub with over 700 daily departures
- One of the fastest-growing airports in the US by passenger volume
- Major connecting hub for East Coast, Caribbean, and European routes
- Home to a famous rocking chair-lined atrium between concourses
Terminal Access Note
CLT has five concourses labeled A through E, all connected by an underground walkway with moving sidewalks. American Airlines dominates Concourses B, C, and parts of A and D, while Concourse E handles most non-American carriers. You can walk between any concourse without re-clearing security, so feel free to visit a lounge on a different concourse than your departure gate. The walk from one end to the other takes about 15 minutes.
