MIA has more than a dozen lounges spread across six concourses, and it is one of the few major US airports where Priority Pass alone gets you into genuinely good lounges: two Turkish Airlines locations and a 24-hour Avianca lounge. That makes Miami the opposite of LAX, where Priority Pass buys you a gaming session and a chair massage. The constraint at MIA is geography. Most concourses do not connect after security, so the lounge you can use depends on where your flight boards.
Here is every lounge at MIA, organized by concourse, with the credit cards that get you in and practical notes on access.
MIA Concourse Layout and the Security Wall
MIA has three terminals and six active concourses: North Terminal (Concourse D, American Airlines' fortress hub), Central Terminal (E, F, and G), and South Terminal (H and J, home to Delta and most international carriers).
Airside connections exist in exactly two places. Concourse D links to Concourse E through a bridge near gates D31 and E2, and Concourses H and J share a post-security connector. Everything else, including any transfer into F or G or any move between the North and South terminals, means exiting and re-clearing security.
The practical read: American flyers in D can reach the Centurion Lounge, both Admirals Clubs, the Flagship Lounge, and the Turkish lounge in E. Delta and international passengers in H and J get the Sky Club, the second Turkish lounge, and the 24-hour Avianca lounge. Flyers out of F and G are largely cut off from all of it.
Centurion Lounge (Concourse D, Level 4)
The Centurion Lounge sits near gate D12 on Level 4, open daily from 5 AM to 10 PM. The food skews Latin-inspired, there is a full cocktail bar, and the location deep in American's home concourse means most AA passengers can reach it without a hike.
Access requires an Amex Platinum, Business Platinum, or Centurion card with a same-day boarding pass. The Delta SkyMiles Reserve also grants entry when flying Delta, though Delta passengers depart from the South Terminal, so the re-clear makes it impractical in most cases.
Guests cost $50 per adult and $30 per child (ages 2 to 17). Two complimentary guests require $75,000 in eligible spend in the current or prior calendar year. Expect crowding during the morning bank of American departures; late afternoon is quieter.
Admirals Clubs (Concourse D, Gates D15 and D30)
American operates two Admirals Clubs at MIA, near gate D15 (5:30 AM to 10:30 PM) and gate D30 (5 AM to 10:30 PM). Both offer showers, business services, and the standard Admirals Club food and bar setup. Given that MIA is American's gateway to Latin America, these clubs run busy nearly all day.
The Citi AAdvantage Executive includes full Admirals Club membership, which covers both locations plus immediate family or up to 2 guests. Day passes cost $79 or 7,900 AAdvantage miles.
Flagship Lounge (Concourse D, near Gate D30)
The Flagship Lounge is American's premium product at MIA, open 5 AM to 10:30 PM with self-serve premium dining, showers, and day beds. Access comes with qualifying long-haul Flagship Business or First tickets, oneworld Sapphire and Emerald status on international itineraries, or a day pass at $150 or 15,000 AAdvantage miles.
No credit card grants Flagship access on its own. For most cardholders in Concourse D, the Centurion Lounge is the better room anyway.
Delta Sky Club (Concourse H)
Delta's Sky Club sits inside the H-J connector, open daily from 4:45 AM to 8:45 PM, with a full bar, buffet, and showers. Access requires a same-day Delta boarding pass in all cases; Basic Economy is excluded, and the 3-hour pre-departure rule applies.
The Delta SkyMiles Reserve includes 15 visits per program year, unlimited with $75,000 in annual spend. The Amex Platinum includes 10 visits per year when flying Delta, also unlimited at the $75,000 spend threshold.
Turkish Airlines Lounges (Concourses E and H)
Turkish Airlines runs two lounges at MIA, and both accept Priority Pass, which is the single best fact about this airport for premium cardholders. The Concourse E location is on Level 2 past security, open 6 AM to midnight. The second lounge sits in the H-J connector on Level 3, open 5 AM to 2 AM. Both offer a hot buffet, showers, and a business center, a full tier above the typical US contract lounge.
Cards that carry Priority Pass here include the Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture X, Hilton Aspire, and Bilt Palladium. For the full list of cards that include the membership, see which credit cards offer Priority Pass.
Both locations enforce capacity limits during peak banks, typically mid-morning in E and late evening in H. Arrive with time to spare or have a backup plan.
Avianca & TAP Portugal Lounge (Concourse J)
Across from gate J6, the Avianca and TAP Portugal Lounge is open 24 hours a day, one of the only around-the-clock lounges in the country. Priority Pass gets you in, business class tickets on either carrier qualify, and a day pass costs $48. The buffet runs hot and cold dishes and there is a family room.
For a 6 AM South Terminal departure or a delayed red-eye, this lounge is the reason MIA ranks near the top of US airports for Priority Pass value. It rarely draws the crowds the Turkish lounges do.
Carrier and Specialty Lounges
The remaining lounges are ticket- or status-gated rather than card-accessible.
| Lounge | Location | Access | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| British Airways Lounge | Concourse E satellite (Gates E20 to E33) | Oneworld Business/First, elite status, international only | À la carte dining, 2 PM to 11 PM |
| LATAM VIP Lounge | Concourse J, near Gate J6 | LATAM premium cabins, elite status, day pass $60 | $90 unlimited 24-hour pass available |
| Club America (2 rooms) | Concourse F, Level 3 | Member airlines, was Priority Pass | Temporarily closed as of mid-2026 |
| Military Hospitality Lounge | Concourse E, Level 2 | Active/retired military with same-day boarding pass | Open 9 AM to 5 PM |
One Priority Pass footnote: Corona Beach House in Concourse D appears on Priority Pass restaurant lists, but the memberships issued with Amex, Chase, and Capital One cards no longer include restaurant credits (Chase dropped them July 1, 2025). XpresSpa near gate D11 offers Priority Pass holders a 25-minute massage chair session, which is a nice extra rather than a lounge substitute.

There is no Capital One Lounge or Chase Sapphire Lounge at MIA, and neither has been announced.

Bottom Line
The Amex Platinum is the strongest single card at MIA, stacking the Centurion Lounge, Delta Sky Club visits, and Priority Pass entry to the Turkish and Avianca lounges. American loyalists get more mileage from the Citi AAdvantage Executive and its two Admirals Clubs in Concourse D. Unlike most US airports, a mid-tier Priority Pass card is genuinely enough here, as long as you fly out of the right concourse. If MIA is your home airport, the Card Advisor can weigh lounge access against your actual spending to show which premium card earns its fee.
