The Centurion Lounge DCA is a decent airport lounge. It rarely feels cramped or like you're sitting…read moreon top of other travelers, at least for the early morning flights. For early morning flyers, they offer a continental breakfast from 5-6am, but be aware that the hot breakfast buffet doesn't get fully set up until about 15-30 minutes after that window. The biggest downside for me is AMEX's updated pet policy--only service animals are allowed now. The lounge has always been my go‑to when flying out of DCA, but since I often travel with my pets, I've had to switch to other lounge options because of this change. On the plus side, charging outlets are plentiful and easy to access at almost every seat, except in the dining area. Staff members are consistently quick about clearing dishes, which keeps the space feeling clean and comfortable. The restrooms are modern, spotless, and well maintained every time I visit. A small tip: the elevator is *very* slow, so if you're able, take the stairs--it's much faster. Overall, it's still a good lounge with solid amenities and a relaxing atmosphere--when it isn't crowded. If not for the updated pet policy, it would be a five-star experience for me.

Solid lounge option with good food and a full bar. This particular location tends to be…read morehigh-demand. So a waitlist is common for peak times. On my most recent visit, I was able to enjoy the breakfast. They had a good variety: pastries, yogurt, juice, eggs, potatoes, homefries, oatmeal, etc. Also, service at the bar was speedy and friendly. I did have to hunt for a seat, but lucked out and got one of the honeycomb-style single cubicles in the back. Also, in spite of the lounge being very busy, there was no wait for the shower. The shower was a waterfall style showerhead and also had an accessible showerhead too. Also, they were able to hook me up with a toothbrush and toothpaste. If this lounge wasn't so overcrowded, it would be an easy 5 . Overall, worth popping into if you have access.

I personally prefer the DCA landing because the airport is much smaller so it's more convenient for me. After they've removed guests from accessing the lounge for free, it's hit or miss still whether there will be a wait. Usually I'm still able to get in in time before my flight departs but I do wish they were more efficient with the seating. Now that they only allow the cardholder, I ended up sitting at a booth for 4 by myself and same with a lot of other people and that's why there was a wait. The food is always amazing though. They switch up the menu slightly but for the most part there are the same staples that hit every time. It's a very nice, calm atmosphere before getting on my flight.

Soup of the day (Tomato Bisque) salad Bar, mini sandwiches and dessert-Full Bar and only Drip coffee which was unfortunately warm and not fresh.

Service was friendly and plates were cleared in a timely manner. I liked the bright interior given the large windows.

You need to show and scan your ticket to gain access to the lounge, the entire room is like a circle with chairs. There are a small bar to your left and snacks and water to the side. It is a small area and looks like it could fit 50 people. Sure not as advance or modern like the Delta Sky lounge or Amex Lounges in the same terminal. This is better than sitting in common area by the gates.

The Admiral's Club near the C Gates at DCA has become my go-to lounge whenever I'm flying American…read more The biggest perk for us is that they allow pets, unlike the American Express Lounge. Since we travel with our cats, the smaller side rooms away from the main seating area are a huge plus. They give us a quieter, semi-private space with less commotion, which helps keep the cats calm before a flight. The lounge has all the basics you'd want: coffee machines, drip coffee, a cereal station, continental breakfast options, and a hot food station. The food quality is decent for an airport lounge, and the staff does a good job keeping everything stocked and clean even during busy times. There are also plenty of outlets for charging devices, the Wi-Fi is reliable, and the bathrooms are consistently clean. The only downside is that this lounge feels a little dated compared to the newer Admirals Club at the E Gates. Still, the pet-friendly atmosphere and quieter layout keep us coming back.

After our experience, I'm saying it's not all that. The food is definitely a disappointment…read more Do not pay for a day pass!! Not worth it. Let me take you through our experience. The customer service desk employees were nice and helpful. You get access to an open bar on most drinks. They also have juices, soda, water and oat milk and almond milk oh yeah a coffee and tea station. The lounge is huge. Plenty of places to unwind. A lot of places to charge your devices. I can now say C1 lounge is better. This past Thursday: Fresh fruit: strawberries, cantaloupe, and watermelon. The hot bar was awful. Dry French toast, turkey sausages patties that were not soft or fresh. They looked dehydrated. Hard boiled eggs ...meh Stuff to make a lux bagel. Butter, cream cheese and salmon. Muffins and a cereal bar

I've been to many lounges and my ranking for top 3 is chase sapphire lounge over delta sky club…read moreover Centurion lounge. But since there are no chase lounge in dca airport, delta would be my top recommendation in the airport. I've also tried the nearby Centurion and it was not it, compared to delta. I came to delta two times for separate flights and i lounge hopped to Centurion lounge on my second flight just for comparison.. From lounge perspective, this delta sky club was less crowded than Centurion. The staff at delta was also more attentive in removing finished plates and trash. From food perspective, I thought delta had better food compared to the nearby Centurion. I sampled all their offerings and i liked the braised pork over rice. They also have veggies, pasta, and mini slices of sandwich and wrap. They have the typical bar. On my prior flight where i first came here, they had a pineapple ginger drink that i liked and it ran out quickly. They also have dessert that I didn't try. I still think chase has the best food and beverages in general but delta is the next best thing. In this airport, especially if you use the nearby terminals, delta over Centurion any time.

The welcoming front desk advised us to find seating in the section behind the elevators, which featured a huge fireplace, a living room-like atmosphere, and huge floor to ceiling windows looking out over the airport. On this side, there was a fridge with some fruit and yogurts, plus a drink counter with sparkling water taps, teas, and coffees. On the other side is the bar, bathrooms, more seating areas but mostly tables and chairs, and the food. So we walked back and forth from each section, but preferred that to being in the busier part. We found 4 comfortable chairs facing each other and ended up at times sitting on the rug in between playing board games. The bathrooms were pristine, and my kids loved the cherry blossom display next to the door. The food was ample, with fixing to make sandwiches with, plus soups, and lots of other items to snack on, plus granola and nut mixes, brownies and cake bites, and a coke machine that had so many options! Plus, the handmade guacamole station- the guacamole was delicious and my kids loved it. I wish there was a takeout box or two so I could have brought my children's leftover sandwiches on the plane with us. Thanks to everyone who made our visit so pleasant!

Our connection from DCA to SYR was delayed and cancelled subsequently we were rebooked on multiple flights which also ended up being cancelled. We spent two days at the lounge and a special shout out to Alex who was so helpful and nice.

All this while things were chaotic and other travelers were frustrated and tired. He truly was a gem as he remained calm and helpful. Lounge did their best to keep things stocked but by day two they were out of Soda. This truly was a great benefit as help was readily available and we were able to get information we need to make travel choices during this trying time.

The lounge was definitely packed for a Thursday afternoon, although the many weather related flight delays likely contributed to the crowds. I was able to find a seat at the bar within a few minutes of arriving, but I noticed several people waiting around for a while hoping to find an open seat. Despite it being busy, it was a nice way to spend a long layover.

I also like how much flexibility you have when you're ordering on the QR code. When we arrived, the lounge was at capacity and so we were placed on a short waitlist and we were off within 10 minutes. Because of its capacity, they do direct you where you should sit, which was OK since I was traveling with just my parents. The lounge is split into two floors with really good ambience though like mentioned earlier they do try to fit as many guests as possible so we can feel a bit crowded!
