Oh! I almost forgot about the Centurion coming to TBIT at LAX, which will eventually be connected airside with T2 and T3.

That makes 5 of the 12 US (existing and under construction) lounges at DL hubs/focus cities when lounges open and the LATAM JV is approved.

So no, no Centurions at DL Hubs.
AMEX had no idea about the future JV when they picked MIA for a centurion lounge. Also, it's in a totally separate terminal from DL. MIA doesn't count, sorry. Both TBIT and T4 at JFK are huge international gateways and are not uniquely Delta terminals.

AMEX is clearly going after UA and AA flyers with their Centurion Lounge locations. So, I don't think it's such a stretch to say we shouldn't expect a Centurion Lounge at a DL-only hub anytime soon.
