The gaming lounge is located in the new Concourse E Expansion at CLT and welcomed its first visitors on Tuesday, May 3rd. It provides travelers with a premium entertainment experience, complete with individual gaming stations fitted out with: PlayStation or Xbox game consoles and top of the line Razer gaming PCs; high end Razer gaming accessories; comfortable lounge chairs and Razer gaming chairs; a selection of drinks and snacks; and welcoming staff, cultivating a truly inviting environment.

This new facility can be accessed in a variety of ways. Any traveler flying through CLT can enjoy the Gameway experience by purchasing access at the lounge based on the time they have available before their next flight. Meanwhile, monthly passes appeal to frequent flyers, flight crew, and other regular travelers who want to make their time in the airport fly by.
