Dallas, TX – October
2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Airport
Lounge Development Inc. (ALD), the global provider of premium, shared-use
lounges and four time winner of a Priority Pass Lounge of the Year award
and recent recipient of the 2018 Travel Weekly Silver award, announces
the opening of its new shared-use lounge at Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport, Terminal D, near Gate 25. One of 18 lounges operated by ALD, the
Club DFW offers travelers a dedicated, larger space in which visitors can
experience a variety of enhanced features.
“We are delighted to continue to support DFW in its vision to transform the travel experience for customers traveling through the airport,” said Nancy Knipp, Senior Vice President of ALD. “The traveler demand for a shared-use lounge experience continues to grow. The dedicated Club DFW lounge will be a welcome addition for the increasing number of travelers who seek our shared-use lounge experience, and we look forward to working with DFW to further expand its lounge offering.” This premium lounge is available to Priority Pass’ ever growing, broad membership – including Lounge Pass and Lounge Key and representing an impressive number of credit cards, banks and other financial institutions – as well as other DFW travelers through the purchase of day passes. The 2,528-square-foot Club DFW is divided into five distinct zones that allow guests to relax and recharge in their own individual way and serve the needs of diverse travelers. These spaces include:
ALD not only enhances its guests’ culinary experience, but also actively engages in a “give back” program that supports local and global community charitable organizations. The Club coffee and tea program contributes 5-10 cents per pound purchased to the Sodexo Foundation, a nonprofit organization helping some of the 36 million people at risk of hunger in the United States. The “Pinot with a Purpose – Chardonnay for a Cause” wine program benefits organizations that range from educating women on the risks and symptoms of ovarian cancer to providing meals to children in need. The Club DFW also gives back to the environment with a 100% plastic-less bar through the removal of all plastic drink stirrers and straws, replacing them with natural bamboo and compostable products. “DFW values our longstanding partnership with ALD to offer travelers world-class amenities to enjoy during their time at the Airport with the options they need and want,” said Ken Buchanan, Executive Vice President of Revenue Management at DFW Airport. “Priority Pass members will be excited to have a dedicated space to rest, relax or connect before their flight.” The Club DFW is open daily from 4:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and serves all Skylink passengers who have cleared TSA access in any terminal. Guests looking for a reprieve from the airport crowds can visit by purchasing a day pass online or at the lounge for $40. The Club DFW also welcomes members of Priority Pass, LoungeKey, Lounge Club, Diners Club International and AAA Members Discount Program. For more information, visit: www.theclubairportlounges.com.
