American Express will expand its Centurion Lounge at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
The $35 million project, according to a state filing, will expand and renovate the lounge into a neighboring space near Gate D12 at Terminal D at DFW Airport.
“We are excited to see American Express’ continued investment in enhancing the lounge experience at DFW,” said Ken Buchanan, EVP and Chief Revenue Officer at DFW Airport. “This project reflects a shared commitment to providing modern, high-quality amenities that meet the evolving needs of our customers, while continuing to elevate the overall terminal environment.”
The details
The expansion will make the lounge nearly 50% larger, adding more seating, a new dining area, a walk-up ice cream window and a second full-service bar, according to a news release.
The expected opening will be in 2027, according to a news release. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings show an estimated completion date for the 18,000-square-foot project of Nov. 19, 2027.
“American Express has long been at the forefront of the airport lounge experience, and we continue to build on that legacy and raise the bar as we grow our network,” said Audrey Hendley, American Express Travel president. “We listen closely to our card members and evolve our lounges to meet their needs. We continue to innovate across our lounge network, while staying true to what makes the Centurion Lounge experience special: thoughtful design and great food and drinks.”

The American Express Centurion Lounge at DFW Airport opened on Sept. 27, 2018, spanning 12,500 square feet, according to an airport news release.
