American Airlines has opened its first Grab-and-Go lounge at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). The Provisions by Admirals Club lounge opened its doors on August 19, 2025, in Concourse A, near Gate A1 close to the A/B connector. The lounge is open daily from 06:15 to 22:45 (10:45 pm) and spans 2,000 square feet (186 m²).

We’re excited to open this new lounge space for our customers at CLT. Millions of customers travel through CLT on American every year and the Provisions by Admirals Club lounge is focused on providing those customers with an easy and convenient solution during their travel journey. said Heather Garboden, American’s Chief Customer Officer.

As previously reported, this quick access lounge is designed for customers who want to grab to-go food on their way to their flight. Customers can choose between a variety of prepackaged snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to go.

Breakfast is served from 06:15 to 11:00 daily, featuring light bites including pastries, snack mixes, yogurt, and fruit options, along with more substantial breakfast meal boxes. After 11 a.m., the all-day menu serves a mix of salty snacks, sweet treats, and filling meal boxes (including vegetarian options). There is also a beverage station where travelers can grab canned and bottled beverages, as well as coffee or hot tea to take away.

Closing Thoughts

This is exciting news to see American open its first grab-and-go lounge. I expect this to be used, and I am most impressed with the breakfast offerings. One downside I am seeing is the omission of an expresso machine, since it appears that only drip-coffee is being served.
