Im sitting in the lounge and wanted to let everyone know whats inside, etc.

I got in on a USA Plat Business Card. No questions asked!
I presume anyone else with a Plat USA should not have any problems.

The club is located in the "H" section. 19H. Its a bit tricky. If you go to the 19 gates, right BEHIND the moving walkways. You take the path behind the glass right. Then you get to another open area with stores like Duty Free and Lacoste. The elevators to the lounges are on the LEFT side. You take it to the Second floor. Then turn left. When you walk into the checkin lounge room thingy, United RCC is on the Right (Also Priority Pass) and the AMEX is on the LEFT. Just show the shiny card and they wil let you in.

The lounge is similar to the intl lounge in term 5 in ORD (if anyone been there)
There is a large open room with a bunch of leather chairs, they got a full stock bar (I like my J.W. Black with ice, and Coke) They also got chips, snacks, pretzzels, and little bagel things. They got a cappichuno machine and a TV with CNN for the business traveler and a bunch of newspapers.

They even got a Xbox for the child in you!

If AMEX actually told members about this club, I would of been here more often. As of now, there is NOONE becides me in the club.


I will take a few photos, and post em shortly.

Hi,
is this lounge operated by Amex or accessible through Priority Pass? Is there a directory of "native" Amex lounges available somewhere?

Thanks!

Looks like an RCC to me!

Oh no, the furniture doesn't look like it was rescued from a skip after being nibbled upon by wolves ;)

This lounge is not advertised at all. Just for the Platinum and Centurion amex members in Mexico(no many). I got my first platinum amex in Mexico. Is a hidden lounge, very few people visit it. That is why is my favorite at that airport. I got my Priority pass card that would get me into UAL, PC, Aeromexico, etc. But i always use my platinum amex to acces this one.
Any platinum memebr from any country can access.

There are quite a few AMEX access lounges in the Middle East.

When I was there in late December they had a number of laptops for use plus two Panasonic ToughBooks at the bar.

I do believe Gold cardholders may also be permitted to enter but it may be Gold Corporate only.

They have an area for children and a reserved area for Centurion cardholders.

It has been upgraded in the last year and is quite nice.
