American Express Membership Rewards - am ex plat lounge access for vx???

quick question. probably "no". But... i'm an am ex platinum member. flying on virgin america later this month out of lax. i think terminal 6. i've read the threads on am ex platinum but... still not clear. that makes me dumb. question: with the am ex plat can i get access to the co lounge in that terminal? if no... can i join priority pass or something before that to help????

thanks for indulging me. everyone here knows EVERYTHING so i thought i'd give it a shot.

With your Amex Plat, you can only getting into a carrier's lounge when flying them. Since you're not flying CO/NW/DL/AA, you won't be able to get into a lounge - unless you buy a refundable ticket on one of those carriers.

Another idea is to get the Citi Platinum Amex that comes with free Priority Pass that allows 3 visits a year and then charges $27 per visit after that. With Priority Pass, there is no carrier requirement.

great to know.

can you get the priority pass with just amex plat?

Not with a US Amex Plat. Comes with some European versions, I believe.

You can also just buy a day pass for $45 at the CO PC.

Priority Pass is part of the German Amex Plat programm (you even get two passes - one for yourself and one for your partner)

i looked it up at priority pass. its like 30 bucks for basic member and 27 (US $) each time you enter lounge. or $245 and you get 10 free entries. is it really worth it if it ain't free?

Depending on whom you fly, possibly. I fly mostly DL, so it's not necessary for me. However, I do have priority pass (actually 2 of them) with unlimited free visits -- I use it internationally and if I want to go into another lounge (ie: NWA @ LGA rather than CRC when flying Delta). Try the fee free Citi Amex Plat. for a year and see how much you use the priority pass; if you never use it, cancel the card; however, if you use it either stick with the card or upgrade to full membership.

the European cards come with the unlimited access model.

As does US Centurion

Why? Just for the self-service booze? I understand having the PP for international, but not in the instance above. I actually think the CRC is nicer - definitely more space.
