4/16/2023 0 Comments Amex centurion lounge lax![]() ![]() Given how stagnant growth has been at ORD, perhaps the leasing rates are quite high for vendors, and thus margins low, yet even MIA has a partnered restaurant. I guess UA/AA have been fighting hard for more gates at ORD, and maybe in their mind lounge space may take away resources for building those gates.Īnyway, I would just be so thrilled if PriorityPass or Amex worked with some restaurant to offer a little bit of credit or even discounts on restaurants in ORD. Maybe lounge memberships decline? Yet I would expect more vendors would help lower airport costs overall, or at least the cost per square foot to build and run operations. ![]() I find it odd that any airline would not want a Centurion, but AA fought hard to keep Amex out of DFW, and thankfully lost. I read in the Tribune that part of the reason is United and American have had major control of ORD since they had a long-term lease in comparison to other major airports. The real question is going to be how big is the lounge? Overcrowding is already an issue at some lounges and unless this lounge is massive it’s immediately going to be an issue here as well. They also have lounges planned for Denver and New York (and now Los Angeles). American Express already has lounges in Dallas, Hong Kong, Houston, Las Vegas, New York (LGA), Philadelphia, Miami, Seattle & San Francisco. Previously American Express has had pop up lounges at LAX, but never anything permanent and calling the pop ups a lounge is being extremely generous. Lounge should open in the first half of 2019.That would leave only terminal 1 truly stranded. ![]() You can also get a Delta bus from terminal 2 & 3. The walk to these terminals isn’t a short one unfortunately. ![]() Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) is connect airside to terminal T4-T7.Airport rent is not cheap! /wYYJK9CDPjĪs you see rent isn’t cheap for these lounges, American Express will pay $33,400,000 over ten years and that doesn’t include fitting the lounge out or ongoing expenses. It’ll be in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, making it most accessible for flyers and long-haul flyers, at least short-term. This tweet provides some additional details: Most recently Amex struck a deal with Lufthansa to allow Platinum card holders access to its European lounges.Hot on the announcement of a new centurion lounge being built at DEN is the news that American Express will be building another centurion lounge at Los Angeles International Airport in the Tom Bradley international terminal. Other new locations due to open in 2019 include New York JFK and Denver International. Worth, Miami, Seattle-Tacoma, Houston Bush Intercontinental, Hong Kong and Philadelphia. Centurion Lounges are currently open at San Francisco International, New York LaGuardia, Las Vegas, Dallas/Ft. The LAX lounge will be Amex’s 12 th Centurion location. More information about the American Express Platinum card here. Passes for additional guests are available at $50 each. Platinums can bring up to two other persons into the lounge at no charge, and Centurions can be accompanied by immediate family members or up to two companions. The LAX Centurion Lounge will also have a spa and a family room for members traveling with kids.But it will also provide some amenities “inspired by Los Angeles,” a spokesperson said, like a “tranquility area” that offers “both brightly-lit and dimly-lit quiet areas to help global travelers adjust to new time zones.”Īccess to the Centurion Lounges is free and limited to American Express Platinum card ($550/yr) and Centurion card ($2,500/yr) members. ![]()
