Charlotte Airport Lounges (CLT): The Club & Concourse Guide

Airport Hotels Nearby Team7 min read

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) has one lounge that any eligible departing passenger can book in advance: The Club CLT in the Concourse A Connector. It is on the left side of the corridor before Gates A21 and A22.

Every CLT concourse is connected after security. You can walk to The Club from Concourses B, C, D or E without taking a train or clearing security again, but the return walk may make a short visit impractical from the far ends of the airport.

The Club CLT in Concourse A

The Club is beyond security in the Concourse A Connector. Follow the corridor toward Gates A21 and A22; the entrance is on the left before reaching those gates. The operator lists food and drinks, Wi-Fi, quiet seating, work areas and private shower suites. Some services, including showers, may carry a separate charge or depend on availability.

Tip:Allow for CLT's walking distances.CLT has one terminal and no train between concourses. Every gate is reachable after security, but walking from the outer B, C, D or E gates to Concourse A and back can use a significant part of a short connection. Check the airport's live map and your assigned gate before buying a pass.

Other lounges at Charlotte Airport

CLT also lists American Airlines Admirals Clubs in Concourses B and D, the American Express Centurion Lounge at the D/E Connector, Delta Sky Club in Concourse A, Provisions by Admirals Club near Gate A1 and the USO Center above the Atrium. These are not equivalent walk-up paid-pass choices: access depends on the relevant airline ticket, status, membership, card benefit or military eligibility.

When a hotel is more useful than a lounge

The Club suits a normal pre-flight wait or connection when there is enough time to walk to Concourse A. For an overnight connection, disruption or early departure, a nearby CLT hotel provides a private room and avoids depending on lounge admission hours or capacity.
