I was in the LGA centurion lounge today. There is some sort of problem so they did not open the kitchen. There are only a few pasteries out. There is no hot water and the bar is limited to wine or beer. I have a couple long flights coming up and im unable to eat anything here and this is during the lunch hour. Is there a way to get compensation? I rarely use centurion lounges maybe 2 to 3 times a year and when i finally go to use it there is no food.

The Centurion lounge in LGA is not just crowded, it has stupid hours: they close at 8 PM and stop serving booze at 7:30! With our flight scheduled at 9:15 PM and delayed to 10:30, because, come on, this is LGA and there is one cloud in the sky, how can they do this? I had such high expectations from American Express that I did not imagine for a second that it could be so bad... and I did not check their hpurs. I thought they were LGA’s saving grace but tonight I just had to deal with my misery.

Early closing at LGA seems to be the norm.
The United Club that is outside security also closes at 8:00 pm (6:00 pm on Saturday).
The Admirals Club that is inside security closes at 9:00 pm (8:00 pm on Saturday).

Such is life unfortunately, and I say that as somebody who a couple years ago had a 7pm UA flight get delayed until nearly 11pm. I haven't flown out of LGA in the evening in a while, but IIRC there just aren't that many flights out of the Central Terminal after 8 pm. The main Delta SkyClubs in C & D are open until 10pm during the week.

Stopped in on Christmas Day to find the club pretty empty. I was given a nice gift of an Amazon Echo Dot. The bar annoyingly doesn't have Chambord so I couldn't have a Kir Royale but the sparking wine they had was quite tasty. Speaking of tasty:
Lunch was excellent as always. Rice, carrots and the Thai chicken made for a very tasty lunch indeed. I asked the agents if they knew the lounge's plans for when the new terminal is built but they do not. As of now the only impact is the view of the C/D concourses is somewhat hampered by a giant construction pit.

Another visit. They're still here though the United Club has now moved past security
Sadly the bar is closed on Sunday mornings due to New York State Liquor Laws
Breakfast was poached eggs with mushrooms, an egg fritata that was far too cheesy, silver dollar pancakes and French Toast which was incredible. Could have used some protein though
Construction outside is pretty far advanced which ruins the views. I'm not sure how much longer this lounge can stay here in fact.

Presumably Amex could move the lounge to the new headhouse building (before or after security), or could take a spot, presumably alongside a new Admirals' Club, in the yet-to-be-built B concourse, though that isn't due to open until after the headhouse does I believe. Both the B and C concourses will be accessed from the new headhouse but I haven't seen a clear indication of whether they will be connected after security or not; if not and if the Centurion Lounge ends up airside, it could become useful to a much more limited set of customers.

Centurion at LGA
Hi folks,
I'm a recent AMEX Platinum card holder. I'll soon be flying LGA-STL with a colleague who doesn't have status or card access anywhere.
We are flying Delta out of LGA terminal C.
I know I could access the Skyclub, but my colleague would have to pay.
I also know I can bring him into the Centurion lounge as a guest for free, but it is in Terminal B.
I don't think it is easy to walk between them, and with the construction and crazy traffic at LGA, I'm not sure if the terminal shuttle is a good idea.
Any thoughts on all this?
Thanks!

You cannot walk between the terminals right now at all. As for traffic, depends on the time of day, day of the week. I went to the Centurion lounge for breakfast with my checked bag a couple weeks ago and then took the shuttle over, but it was a Saturday morning so there was no traffic to speak of. A weekday at 3-5pm? No way I'd bother. Though IME the terminal shuttle runs pretty well, you just never know if you're going to be there on a bad day until you're stuck in traffic on the loop.

I did this once when walking between terminals was permitted. It was an easy 10 minute stroll from B to C. Now, with the construction, potential shuttle delays, and no option to walk, there's no way I'd do it.

Since it is pre-security, it was easy enough when you could walk between terminals. But I recently flew out of LGA just to go to the lounge pre-departure and it was a mistake all around.
