“As we elevate our presence in Austin, we’re excited to bring a new level of comfort and hospitality to our customers,” American’s Chief Customer Officer Heather Garboden said in a news release. “The new Admirals Club lounge will reflect the vibrant spirit of Austin while offering the thoughtful design and premium amenities our customers expect.”
The current lounge will remain open during construction. Construction is expected to end by June 2027, according to TDLR.
In addition to the outdoor terrace, the lounge will feature “distinct zones” to relax, dine, work and recharge “all designed to balance style, comfort and function,” the release said.
Lounge access is available for members, but passengers also can buy a one-day pass for $79 or 7,900 AAdvantage miles.
Once the airport’s second permanent terminal is complete, American will have nine gates at the Barbara Jordan Terminal.
