RDU's oneworld lounge — an Admirals Club opposite Gates C1 and C3 for American and oneworld flyers.
The American Airlines Admirals Club at Raleigh-Durham International is the airport's oneworld lounge, located airside in Terminal 2 opposite Gates C1 and C3. It welcomes premium passengers travelling with American Airlines and oneworld partner airlines: oneworld Sapphire members and American business-class passengers, with access also extended to eligible customers travelling on any oneworld member airline. The club keeps the standard Admirals Club formula — complimentary snacks with additional food available to purchase, and a bar offering complimentary soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor alongside premium drinks for sale. Amenities are more pared back than the Delta and United clubs here: Wi-Fi throughout and a conference room available to rent for meetings, plus comfortable seating to wait out a connection or an early departure. Hours run from the early morning to mid-evening — roughly 04:30 to 20:10 daily — covering the bulk of American's RDU schedule.
