FAQ
Q: Where is the lounge?
A: Terminal 3, F concourse, right by Gate F2 (formerly gate 75) and the F-1 security checkpoint (that has PreCheck, sometimes).
Q: Can I visit there if I'm departing from another terminal?
A: Absolutely. Security at SFO will let passengers departing from any concourse at SFO go through security in any concourse, even ones that aren't connected behind security. At the moment, Terminal 3 concourses E and F, and International Terminal concourse G are connected airside to the Centurion lounge. Some other concourses are connected to each other airside, but not to the point that you can walk airside to the Centurion. However, with a PreCheck security lane right next to the entrance to the lounge, it can be quite easy to clear security twice if necessary.
Q: Can I visit if I'm arriving at SFO?
A: It depends. If you're arriving in the aforementioned concourses E, F, or G, then yes, but only if you have a connecting flight. If you're arriving in one of the other concourses, then security at SFO won't let you clear into E, F, or G without a boarding pass departing SFO that day. If you're arriving internationally, again, you'd need a same-day SFO departing boarding pass to clear security.

If the Centurion Lounge is airside, which is what I've heard, then it will only be accessible to gates 60-104, which is E-F-G

I'm coming to SFO on Virgin America (first time on that airline). Does anyone who has taken Virgin before knows what gates Virgin usually gates in at SFO and secondly how close those gates are to the Centurion lounge?
Since I have such a short period of time connecting from one Virgin flight to another (1 hour), I want to make sure I know exactly where to go to take a peek into the new Cent lounge!

The former, unfortunately. I hope you have a connecting flight so that boarding pass gets you past the checkpoint. In general, a flight in any terminal will do at SFO.

Not familiar with SFO... are the security check points generally slow?
I would really love to be able to stick me head inside and do a quick walk around thru the new SFO Cent Lounge

Pretty fast, especially in the premium lanes. Can confirm being able to take a friend flying out of T3 into T2 to use the Admiral's Club. Will probably take you ~10 min each way to get between T2/T3, won't leave you time to do much beyond popping your head into the SFO Cent...

Going with my wife and kids so it will really be just a head pop-in.
What are the qualifications for the use of premium lanes?
