How to get into the American Express Centurion Lounges Cocktail menus for all Centurion Lounges are designed by New York City mixologist Jim Sheehan (of New York City’s Please Don’t Tell), and the wine program is curated by Food & Wine writer and sommelier Anthony Giglio. Swanky, right? However, every Centurion lounge includes a member services desk, locally-inspired cuisine (usually designed by a popular local chef), a family room or area, high-speed wi-fi, a computer bar and print-fax-copy services, and magazines and newspapers. Several of the Centurion Global Network’s 21 lounges have already been expanded, and more expansions are planned by the end of 2022.Ĭenturion Lounge amenities vary, with some including perks like tarmac views, conference and phone rooms, Exhale-branded spas, and unique relaxation rooms. First introduced in 2013 to compete with international airline lounges, these posh, departure-only lounges have become so popular that (credit-card-dependent) access is limited to three hours before your same-day departure time. Sure, it will be 7 more years of construction– but it IS getting better.If you like a swanky airline lounge that puts the rest of an airport to shame, you’re gonna love American Express Centurion Lounges-as long as you’re good with the concept of first-come, first-served.
AMEX LOUNGE LOCATIONS PLUS
And, in addition, even though LAX has been “under construction” for most of my half century plus in Socal, it is indeed getting better. The terminal is a pleasure, with all the amenities I expect from a world-class airport. Finally, honestly– departing is quite pleasant at LAX, ESPECIALLY in the TBIT.
Its the arrival experience that is terrible, so I try hard to arrive between 10AM-2PM, or after 8PM or on a weekend to avoid traffic issues. Plus, I try hard to time my visits to LAX… specifically– I don’t mind early morning flights from LAX– usually no trouble, and very little delays. I dont know about you… but the opportunities to misconnect are not worth the stress. I agree, LAX is a tough place… but, honestly– if you are traveling somewhere that has a non-stop or even a more premium (upguaged aircraft, first/business class availability, and lounge access) flight experience, and better pricing… I think your argument about taking a connection instead of heading to LAX is not ideal. I live in the Long Beach area (love,love LGB), and travel at least once per week. The glass is frosted on the lower windows, providing some degree of I am a Los Angeles-area traveler. It’s almost like an island in the midst of baggage claim between passport control and customs. It appears you’ll enter the lounge then proceed down an elevator to the lounge itself, which is located on the arrivals levels. The lounge entrance will be on Level 4, one level below the Qantas First Class lounge, near the bridge that connects TBIT to Terminal 4. Terminals 4-8 are connected on the secure side by walkway and Delta offers shuttle service from Terminals 2 and 3.
The lounge will be located in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), meaning you can get there fairly easily from all terminals except Terminal 1. The new lounge will also feature a spa, a kid and adult-friendly family room, custom, visual wall installations, complimentary chef-crafted food menus, premium wines and specialty cocktails from sommelier Anthony Giglio and mixologist Jim Meehan, enhanced workspaces, access to high-speed Wi-Fi, premium restrooms and showers, power outlets, private noise-buffering work stations and American Express Member Services Professionals to provide onsite Card-related and travel-related services. The latest Centurion Lounge will be a large one, with over 13,900 square feet of floor space and a special tranquility area and spa.įor the first time, American Express will be introducing an enhanced tranquility area, offering both brightly-lit and dimly-lit quiet areas to help global travelers adjust to new time zones as they travel internationally. The Los Angeles lounge was originally slated to open in 2019, but was delayed. An opening date has still not been announced. I was at LAX on Saturday and pleased to see that the American Express Centurion Lounge looks about ready to open.
