Centurion Lounge Dallas Lounge Review is part of Freddie Awards to New Orleans Binge Weekend Trip Report which covers:
I didn’t get into the Amex Centurion on the way into Dallas (see Centurion Lounge’s Buzzkill Entry Policy), but I did get to go on the way out. I stand by my assertion that showing up early just to experience the lounge is no longer worth it (see Skipping Airport Lounges with No Regrets).
Food
The food is better than normal lounges like Delta, but it isn’t exceptional like AA Flagship JFK.
Drink
Why can’t I get a good bloody mary at an airport anymore? I miss the Alaska Boardroom SEA and Priority Pass San Jose. I ordered a mimosa concoction. It was not very good. Mimosas, like bloodies, don’t have to be overthought. One is tomato juice and vodka. The other is orange juice and champagne. Why is that so difficult?
Seating
Even with the rule restrictions, the lounge was just like the Centurion SEA : crowded as duck. I parked myself in a seat and didn’t move for the maximum three hours I was allowed to be there.
View
On a positive note, the lounge provided great views of planes coming and going.
Overall
Centurion Lounges no longer impress me. I don’t feel bad that I no longer have my own access to them (see Keep Vs. Cancel: Amex Platinum Charles Schwab) and don’t care to free ride with someone that does. Leave me at the gate, thank you.
, but I did get to go on the way out.){kind=link}
I took the retention bonus of $300 to keep it one more year. I am canceling next year if I don’t get it again
I received a good retention last year but nothing this year, so I cancelled.
I was given nothing for retention so I continued with my cancel. The DFW lounge has only declined and is rarely not overcrowded. I’ll gladly either sit at the gate or hit up Minute Suites or Club lounges for a few minutes, much cheaper cost to me overall. Dropping the card was an easy decision for me to make.
Agreed.
Freddie…not Freddy

It is the poor (dead) guy’s name and all, you know? Don’t call me Geney after I’m dead. It will be Genie.
Gene…not Gener 🙂
where were you 7 posts ago? I have misspelled it over and over. I had to go back and change all of them. I hope tomorrow’s 10:07AM post is not delayed as a result.
Vietnam or something like that…
yes probably
Meowsor. More for us then silly!
I was “forced” to renew my plat (well, get a new one for the bonus) bc I use the Amex at SFO and Airspace in SAN. Still bitter about the loss of restaurants but whatevs. I’m happy to effectively pay $150/year for uber and lounge access but $350 is insane. Rumor has it that they might hike the fee again :O
I’ve had every variety, there’s nothing left.
Those are not views from the lounge. The only view is of the checkin area for international airlines.
My memory may be failing me on this one. I am fairly sure I took them from there, though I didn’t have it in my draft post. Anyone want to confirm?
I think Brian is correct there’s no views from the lounge
