![]() ![]() The lounge held substantial views of the tarmac on one side and the terminal below on the other. The lounge holds personal workspaces and the other usual Centurion furniture. Luckily, I didn’t have a need for this room as a solo traveler. That is, if there’s not a traveler occupying the room as his private office (see above). ![]() The lounge offers a family room available for spreading out. The family room/personal workspace of the gentleman in the corner. It’s always a huge crowd at the Centurion bar – shocker. I didn’t bother with any other cold beverages, as that would entail even more waiting amongst the throngs at the bar. Self-serve ice water and orange juice is available. But this coffee snob held his nose and waited in line. Full disclosure, pre-brewed coffee is also available. I was experiencing the infamously long Centurion check-in line, but inside the lounge this time. And, not surprisingly, lines backed up for the two semi-working coffee machines. My cafe Americano was fine, but enjoying other options would have been nice. ![]() During my visit, one unit was completely out of order, and the other two units weren’t capable of producing most of the usual beverage types (see photo below). Three coffee machines are available in the lounge. I liked the salad dressing selection, and while I prefer Tabasco, Tapatio was sufficient for my eggs.īeverages is where things got tricky. Importantly, I found the condiments well-stocked (enough) at the buffet. I enjoyed the greens being available early in the day, as well. The buffet held a satisfactory variety of morning favorites – scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, potato, pastries, etc. As a bonus, it was also an excellent people-watching location. I could actually use the lounge for one of its intended purposes – a serviceable meal. I was elated to find a small table close to the buffet. Again, that’s another low bar I hold for Centurions. The lounge was about 90% full, seemingly uncrowded by Centurion standards. The Charlotte Centurion Lounge is shaped like a T, with most primary services – dining, bar, two coffee machines – at the top of the T. But it immediately hit me – has my bar been so low with Centurion Lounges that no check-in line is now considered impressive? Yes, and how comical that is! Lounge Observations I caught myself feeling like I won the lottery by not experiencing a line at check in. I arrived on an early flight, so that may have helped, also. There was no line at check-in, and I attribute that partly to the relative wealth of staffing there. Three attendants helped at the check-in desk. Here are my first impressions from my Charlotte Centurion Lounge visit in early December.Īfter a quick elevator ride up a floor between terminals D and E, I arrived at check-in. Mine have most recently been at larger Centurions, so I was intrigued to try a smaller one at CLT. Like many of you, I’ve tempered my Centurion Lounge expectations based on recent experiences. Visiting the Charlotte Centurion Lounge, one of my natural airport transit points, has been long overdue. I’ve been focusing more recently on smaller Centurion lounges.
