American to Add Flagship Lounge and Expand Charlotte Admirals Club Space

The move addresses chronic crowding at the carrier’s second-largest hub without a published construction schedule.

Overview

  • American announced a first-ever Flagship Lounge for CLT and a larger Admirals Club footprint that together will significantly increase lounge capacity.
  • The airline did not provide timing or construction specifics, and reporting points to a roughly 40,000-square-foot mezzanine site near the D–E connector as a possibility.
  • A Provisions by Admirals Club grab-and-go has opened in Concourse A by gate A1, serving breakfast from 6:15–11:00 and all-day options until 22:45.
  • Existing CLT clubs are routinely overcrowded and dated, and Flagship access is limited to eligible premium itineraries and qualifying elites rather than standard club members.
  • Published access pricing includes an Admirals Club One Day Pass at $79 or 7,900 miles and a Flagship Single Visit at $150 or 15,000 miles.
