American Express has announced plans for a new and bigger centurion lounge at Dallas Fort-Worth. The lounge will move from it’s currently location (opposite gate d17) to a new location next D17. The new lounge will have the following:
- 3,000 feet more space (increasing from 9,000 to 12,000 feet)
- 1 extra shower suite (increasing from 2 to 3)
- Addition of private telephone room
- Addition of private mother’s room
- Lounge will be on the mezzanine level just inside security
- Will open in the first half of 2018
This lounge has had a lot of issues with overcrowding and even the changes to the centurion lounge guest policy haven’t been able to fix these issues. I’d be interested to know how much new floor space the lounge will actually have when you take into account the extra shower suite, private telephone room and the mother’s room. It’s a shame they aren’t creating this lounge in addition to the one they already have but I’m sure American Express would prefer to spend that money opening a lounge at another airport instead.
