Dallas
Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) is one of the largest airports in the United States by area — five terminals connected by the SkyLink automated train system. American Airlines is the dominant carrier and operates the Admirals Club network across the terminals. The Centurion Lounge DFW in Terminal A is the polished play — bartender-staffed cocktail bar, proper Texas-craft-spirits programme (Garrison Brothers Bourbon, Treaty Oak gin, Tito's Vodka from Austin), restaurant-grade Tex-Mex food rotation. Amex Platinum or Centurion required.
