DFW casual entry lounges- AA Admirals Club vs The Club @ DFW

[brha01]

I have a 5 hour wait in DFW in June, arriving from SYD on QF7 at ~2pm and then heading to MCO on AA at ~7pm. I do not have access to any lounges, but understand you can pay for casual entry to these two lounges (are there any others)?

My research tells me that The Club @ DFW is $35 for a casual entry and AA Admirals is $50 for casual entry.

Is there any great difference between the two? All I need is a shower, a comfy seat, free wifi and some drinks/snacks. Which would you choose?

Thanks in advance!

If you go to the prioritypass website and do a search for lounges at DFW you will see some photos of the club lounge. (You don't have to be a member to view the photos.)

I have only been in the Terminal B Admirals Club and it was quite small but very pleasant. There are three other terminals and three other Admirals Clubs there.

Review here.

The Club At DFW Is An Airport Lounge For The Rest Of Us || Jaunted

Given it is
a. cheaper
b. includes alcohol (noting that AC now include 'free' basic beverages)
sounds like a good choice

Skytrain means you can get to any terminal/ gate reasonably quickly

I think $35 is pretty reasonable for a few hours there. My only thought would be whether you might want to spend some time in the terminal. Five hours without food will seem like a fairly long time - there are snacks in the lounge but they wont be up to much...
