Use of a Centurion Lounge by arriving passengers is prohibited. (A black card has a $7,500 initiation fee and $5,000 annual fee, and I thought the $550 annual fee for the Platinum card was steep.)Īuthorized users can be admitted to the Centurion Lounge not more than three hours before their flight departs unless it is a connecting flight in which case the three-hour time limit does not apply. The Black card is issued by Amex as an invite only perk for its biggest spenders. Access and Guest PolicyĪccess to the centurion Lounge is limited to those with an American Express Platinum Card (personal or business), a Delta Reserve Card when flying Delta on the same day, or the lucky few who have an American Express Centurion (Black) Card.

They share an entrance across from Gate B22. The Centurion Lounge and Escape lounge are located one level above Terminal 4’s B Concourse inside security.

They may not visit both lounges on the same day for free. It is an airport lounge two-for-the-price-of-one except American Express cardholders must pick one lounge or the other. The American Express Centurion Lounge in Phoenix is in an unusual situation because card members also have access to the Escape Lounge next door.

Three Days And Zero Nights In Utqiaġvik, Alaska 2021Ĭovid-19 Flight Review – American Airlines A321 First Class Charlotte, NC to Phoenix, AZ Other posts from our Alaska trip in May 2021. After arriving on the A Concourse at Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), we bypassed the more convenient American Airlines Admirals Club and made a beeline for the American Express Centurion Lounge. With the conference call, and the wines finished, we headed toward our departure gate, ready to get home for a few days, before we’d be flying to DFW, and likely a visit to that Lounge too.Phoenix was the connecting airport on our trip to Alaska on May 12, 2021. However, it is still a very nice, albeit smaller Centurion Lounge. Thompson, Andre Agassi and a few more, who I recognized. I am not sure exactly what the LAS Lounge has, besides photographs of prominent Las Vegas figures, such as Hunter S. At SFO, for instance, there is a wine tasting dispenser, while DFW has a mini-spa. Now, each AMEX Centurion Lounge is a bit different, though there are usually many common elements. Service was excellent, and as we had just had breakfast at our hotel, before leaving for the airport, we passed the buffet by, though it looked good, and from the crowd around it, seemed to be good, as well. In a bit, I followed up with another glass of the Chard for my wife, and a glass of The Federalist Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon ‘16, which I have had before. I looked at the wines displayed on the wall, adjacent to the bar, and decided on the Love Block Central Otago (NZ) Pinot Noir ‘18, especially as I do not recall ever having tasted it. As I had enjoyed their Flor de Campo Chardonnay on a previous visit, that was where I started for my wife. We took a small table, just beyond the bar seating, and while my wife got on a conference call, I went up to that bar.

Over the years, we have spent much more time at the Centurion Lounge in T3 at SFO, but then fly out of SFO maybe 20 times more, than out of LAS. We have visited this Lounge a few times before, and usually alternating between it, and the near-by United Club, depending on how we felt. With time on our hands, our first stop, past Security and the tram, was to the AMEX Centurion Lounge in Terminal D. Nice Wines at the AMEX Centurion Lounge at LAS Airport In June, we had arrived at LAS Airport early - really too early - prior to our flight to LAX, then home to Phoenix.
