Consolidated Q&A regarding the IAH Centurion Lounge

Q: Where is this thing?
A: Down the creepy looking elevator, located behind/in the duty free shop in Terminal D. If arriving via the Skyway, take a right at the bottom of the escalator, then bear left towards the D1-8 gates. Make a sharp left at the duty free shop and take the elevator to the mezzanine level.

Q: I'm arriving/departing at Terminal ___, how easy is to get there?
A: Super easy. Every terminal at IAH is connected airside by the Skyway train, which runs every couple minutes. Terminals C/D/E are all connected airside without the need for the skyway. To get from Terminals C-E to B or A you need to take the Skyway. Once you arrive at Terminal D via Skyway, follow the instructions above.

Q: What are the lounge hours?
A: 6am-9pm

Q: When is the bar open? (Damn the TABC )
A: A limited selection of cocktail, wine and beer available from 7:00 am (10:00am on Sundays) to 10:30am. Full cocktail menu available 10:30am - 8:30pm.

Thanks. I thought Amex did one of those pop-up lounges at IAH during the holidays at the planned location, but maybe I confused IAH with LAX or elsewhere.

Well, the "later in January" rumor appears to have been false (or simply didn't work out on Amex's end).

Anyone who's been through IAH seen or heard anything?

Per my very unscientific search of previous Centurion Lounge announcements through FT, it seems to be 8-12 months from announcement to open. Ergo the earliest IAH would open would be April-ish? May/June seems the most reasonable. I'm very much looking forward to it as I've grown weary of the KLM lounge. Both its beer selection (St Arnolds amber, or swill) and food.

Maybe delayed until June

The DFW CL staff told me the opening has been delayed until June. Apparently some of the staff would like to transfer to that lounge.

Is the club open yet?

Anywhere else I can go with an Amex Platinum card at IAH? Will the British Airways lounge let me in?

- No.

- Your Priority Pass card will give you access to the KLM and Air France lounges. And no the BA lounge won't let you in (unless of course you're eligible for some other reason).

I walked the length of D last week, 3/10. The only visible construction was close to the AF lounge near D9 (between KLM lounge and AF lounge). I asked one of the workers if this was going to be the new Amex lounge but he said he "did not know what they were building". A quick peek through the door revealed several old pay phones still on a wall but I could not see anything else. There appeared to be very little progress toward whatever they are working on.
