This guide covers the airport lounges at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), where each is located, and how travelers can access them. It explains access by airline eligibility, elite status, lounge membership, and eligible credit cards, so you can compare the options and find the lounge that fits your itinerary.

Quick Overview: AUS Airport Lounges

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) served more than 21 million passengers in 2025 (Source: Austin-Bergstrom International Airport) and has 3 lounges, all in the Barbara Jordan Terminal: the American Airlines Admirals Club, the Delta Sky Club, and the United Club (which is temporarily closed). The airport’s South Terminal, which had no lounges, closed on April 1, 2026, and its Allegiant and Frontier flights moved to the Barbara Jordan Terminal.

There are no Priority Pass lounges at AUS. The Admirals Club and United Club sell day passes, and the Delta Sky Club requires membership or an eligible card. American Airlines is building a larger Admirals Club with an outdoor terrace as part of the West Gate Expansion, and Delta has a larger Sky Club planned. Access to each lounge depends on cabin, elite status, or an eligible credit card or membership.
