Which lounge at Miami? The choice, concourse by concourse

At Miami airport the lounges are spread along the concourses, from D to J, and the practical rule is simple: choose among those close to your gate. If you fly American you have the widest choice; if you only have Priority Pass, you need to know which concourses to look in.
Concourse D is the base of the American Airlines lounges. The Flagship Lounge, opposite gate D30, is for American and oneworld First and Business passengers, for oneworld Emerald and Sapphire holders and for ConciergeKey members; it also sells a day pass, but only when capacity allows. Next to it is the Admirals Club D30, while the Admirals Club D15 is on the third floor above gate D15: both welcome members, oneworld status holders and premium passengers, and sell the day pass.

Still in D, on level 4 near gate D12, is American Express's The Centurion Lounge, open to Platinum and Centurion cardholders and with no day pass. It has showers and rooms for children: for a family with the right card it is a practical choice. In Concourse E different audiences coexist. The British Airways Lounge, on level 4 of the satellite, is the airline's largest outside London, with a bar overlooking the runways, the Concorde Dining Room and shower suites; it welcomes First and Club World passengers, Executive Club Gold and Silver members and, on transatlantic flights, oneworld Sapphire and Emerald holders, but it opens only in the afternoon. On level 2 the Turkish Airlines Lounge accepts Star Alliance premium passengers and Priority Pass, has a buffet and showers and sells entry. The Admirals Club E, on the other hand, is temporarily closed. Military personnel, American or from an allied country, active or retired, have the Military Hospitality Lounge before security, free with a military ID and proof of travel on the same day. In Concourse H there are the recently expanded Delta Sky Club, for Sky Club members, Delta One passengers and SkyTeam Elite Plus holders on international flights, with a day pass available to buy, and a second Turkish Airlines Lounge, twin of the one in E and also open to Priority Pass. In Concourse J the Avianca and TAP Portugal Lounge, opposite gate J6, never closes and accepts Priority Pass and day passes; nearby, The VIP Lounge by LATAM welcomes LATAM and partner premium passengers by invitation and sells a timed pass. In F, Club America appears to be temporarily closed. In practice, at Miami the lounge card counts above all in concourses E, H and J; in D, without a premium ticket or status, you get in with an eligible American Express card or by buying an American day pass. For a late-night flight the always-open lounge in Concourse J is the only certainty among those listed.
At Miami the right lounge is almost always the one in your own concourse. If you fly American in premium class or with status, you have the Flagship and Admirals Club in D; if you hold an Amex Platinum card you also find the Centurion there, with showers and rooms for children. With Priority Pass it is worth aiming for the Turkish lounges in concourses E and H or the Avianca and TAP in J, which stays open at night too. For British Airways, Delta and LATAM the airline's own lounge applies, with its access rules.
