The pods are outfitted with a bench, power outlets, and a changing table.
  • If you have flown with American Airlines and want to relax and freshen up after landing at CLT, visit one of their two highly rated airport lounges.

The airport also has two other lounges, the Club CLT and the Centurion Lounge, which you can pay for at the door or purchase a lounge pass.
