The Good
- Easy Priority Pass access makes this the most accessible lounge at DFW for credit card travelers
- Local Texas craft beers on tap add character that generic airport bars lack
- Convenient Terminal D location near international gates
The Bad
- Relatively small space that fills up quickly during midday hours
- Food offerings are limited to snacks rather than full meals
- No showers available at this location
Pro Tips
- If the Centurion Lounge has a waitlist, come here first for a drink while you wait. It is a 2-minute walk away and rarely at capacity in the early morning.
- The tortilla soup is made fresh daily and is the best food item here. Grab a bowl before it runs out around 1:00 PM.
- Ask the bartender if they have Deep Ellum Dreamcrusher on tap. It rotates but when available, it is the strongest IPA option.
- Window seats on the left side of the lounge face the international terminal ramp and are great for watching wide-body aircraft.
