DFW Airport Lounge Crawl: 5 Lounges in 5 Hours

On the 4th of July we had a 5 hour layover in the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. We challenged ourselves to visit 5 different lounges in one layover thanks to our Travel Credit Card perks.
We started our day in Ontario California where we had breakfast at the Aspire Lounge in Terminal 4. Thanks to travel hacking and the Daily Drop newsletter we were able to get lounge access with credit card and airline perks.
During our 5 hours at DFW we visited 2 Admiral Clubs, the Plaza Premium Lounge, Club DFW, the American Flagship Lounge and Rich added a bonus lounge and visited the Centurion Lounge.
We then boarded our business class flight to Heathrow were we were able to visit the LHR American Arrival Lounge before heading into London.
It was a great way to spend a portion of our 24 hour travel day.

I live in Dallas, and my next London trip is business class, so I was curious about the arrival lounge at LHR. No amount of online search helps quite like seeing a video on it. Thank you!

[@OurMidlifeVan]

Glad it was helpful. They also have showers at that lounge which is nice if you won’t get to a hotel for a while. Have a safe trip.

Great video - thanks for providing the insight into Admiral's Club. Most of all, thank you for saving me $79. I was going to get a one-day pass but I think I can easily find a decent meal (and some good wine) for less.

[@OurMidlifeVan]

Thanks for watching. Would so much rather have a Priority Pass than an Admiral Club memberships. 😀 Safe Travels.

[@jeremycain2491]

Great review - thanks! Sad how lame the AA Admirals Lounges are.

[@OurMidlifeVan]

Thanks, ya the Admiral clubs definitely are worth the membership. But access to the Flagship Lounges is a must do if you have access.

[@eliseorios7278]

Loved this !!!

[@OurMidlifeVan]

Great way to spend the time for sure.

I bought two 1-day passes for the admiral's lounge for my wife and her best friend that was traveling with her. They were denied access at the lounge counter in Charlotte, N.C. due to the lounge "undergoing some construction" while others were being admitted to the lounge with no issues. Found out after researching further that 1-day passes have the lowest priority for lounge access and the policy is if the Admiral's lounge has any construction going on at all 1-day pass holders are automatically denied access. That is messed up because the 1-day passes expire after 1 year and are non-refundable.

[@OurMidlifeVan]

That is horrible. I would want my money back if the pass was denied. Or dispute the charge with your credit card company.

$100 whisky in the flagship!! Glug as much as ya want 👍👍😎😎😍😍

Great vid!

[@OurMidlifeVan]

Thanks

[@oolongtran]

Please do more lounge crawls!

[@OurMidlifeVan]

That’s a request we would love to do. :)

[@AmericanCheeselouise]

Why were they celebrating 4th of July in London 😅 You guys are cute. Thanks for the video

[@OurMidlifeVan]

Thanks! It was an American Airlines Lounge in London so they were decorated for the 4th. :)

I just pay cash first class but never had a huge layover to get in one

[@OurMidlifeVan]

Flagship was really nice and a great way to end the layover with a sunset view.

[@JxLx2022]

if you are on a AA international business class ticket.. you should have used the AA Flagship lounge in Dallas.. it's much nicer.. The guys at the normal admirals should have told you guys qualified for the better lounge..

[@OurMidlifeVan]

The Flagship was the last lounge we visited. Since we had a 5 hour layover we decided to try all the lounges available to us. 😀

[@coziii.1829]

No flagship lounge?
Oh the last one ok
