American Airlines Airport Lounges

and those accessible to some AA passengers

Consolidated by Charlie Plesums



Intro

Every few months I get an email from American Airlines bragging that they are refurbishing their Admiral's Clubs. Great, I am sure the new marble will be nice, but that won't change my plan to visit a lounge at a specific airport. While I am connecting to a different terminal, or a different gate at the far end of the airport, I would rather know WHERE the nearest club is. You need a WiFi connection to get this info from American Airlines. Once I am in the club and have a WiFi connection, I can use their web site to confirm where I am, but they don't understand that their web site is no help in FINDING their clubs, especially when rushing between gates. Therefore I have created a PDF copy of this page that you can save on your smart phone.

One World provides access to 650 lounges when traveling internationally if your status is Emerald (Executive Platinum) or Sapphire (Platinum) and you are traveling in any class on a One World Flight, or if you are traveling First or Business Class. When multiple lounges are available, if you are on a coach ticket, Emerald can use the First Class lounge; Sapphire can use the Business Class lounge. There are exceptions, so check with OneWorld. This status-based access is simply listed as "One World" in this list.

I have harvested this data form multiple locations. I hope it is right - I will be using it myself, but I don't get to all the airports. If you can suggest improvements or corrections, please drop me a note to Charlie@Plesums.com . In general I focused on locations rather than operating hours, since hours are very subject to change, and the lounge is not likely to be closed while I am waiting for a connecting flight.
