Gameway and Airport Dimensions have partnered to open a premium video gaming lounge space in Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).

This is the fourth location in the rapidly growing Gameway network, and the first in an exciting new collaboration with Airport Dimensions. 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. Guests can play pre-downloaded games including some of today’s most popular titles such as Fortnite, FIFA, NBA2K, Madden, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Rocket League, and many more.

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. Members of Priority Pass are also entitled to a complementary hour of access plus a drink and a snack. Guests can even pre-reserve the gaming experience of their choice before arriving at the airport by visiting www.gameway.gg.

According to Emma Walbridge, CEO at Gameway: “We are thrilled to open our fourth Gameway location and offer travelers through Charlotte Douglas International Airport the opportunity to have fun while traveling for both business and pleasure. We firmly believe that the airport experience should be valued as an integral part of the travel journey, and simply put, our mission is to make airports entertaining. It made perfect sense for Gameway to partner in the development of this location with Airport Dimensions, as they are the global leaders in delivering experiences for air travelers. We know this is only the first in many more joint projects to innovate the airport experience and make time spent in airports both relaxing and fun! We also so appreciate the spirit of partnership shown by both Paradies Lagardère and the CLT Airport team, as it’s clear that all parties involved in this project truly prioritize the traveler experience.”
