This thread is for discussion of lounges accessed by presenting the Centurion or Platinum Card.
Click HERE for discussion of the separate Priority Pass benefit.
All American Express Centurion and Platinum charge cards issued worldwide provide access to:
Current Centurion Lounges:
These additional locations are announced, but not yet open:
Current international locations: CGH, EZE, HKG, GDL, GIG, GRU, MEX, MTY
Cards issued in USA also include:
Cards issued outside the USA include:
Airspace lounge access includes spouse and children under age 21, or up to two traveling companions, at no cost.
DL no longer accepts guests at no charge. Discussion here: Delta Skyclub-- no more free guest
Priority Pass access includes the cardholder plus two guests. Additional guests are $27 each per visit.
Escape lounges will admit AU cardholders who are minors traveling solo. Amex and DL explicitly prohibit minors from entering without adults, but YMMV.
Access to select Lufthansa Lounges When Flying Lufthansa: There does not seem to be a page announcing this, but if you go to the Lounge Finder here: https://www.americanexpress.com/idc/...llection.html/ and enter a German airoport (I know that FRA and MIC works) you get the listing. It basically bumps you up one lounge - so if you are travelling coach, you get access to the Business Class Lounge, if you are flying Business Class, you get the First Class (Senator) Lounge.

Customers with select Platinum American Express credit cards may access Delta Sky Clubs when traveling on a same-day Delta operated flight or Delta marketed WestJet operated flight booked through Delta (tickets starting with the number 006). Does not include Delta SkyMiles co-branded American Express Platinum Card. Platinum American Express cardholders may enter the club with up to two guests for an additional fee.

Delta Skyclub Access for Guest with Amex Platinum
Hi,
I have the Amex Platinum and have an upcoming multi-stop itinerary on Delta. Will I need to pay a separate guest fee for each skyclub visit for my travelling partner, or does one guest fee cover multiple entries throughout the day (at different airports)? I'd imagine it's the former but thought I'd ask to see whether anyone has come across this before.
Thanks in advance.

You have to pay at each lounge you stop at. I asked this same question about a year ago and the agent said a pass at the NYC location for example would not work at a delta lounge in ATL

So I have a couple questions...
• The Centurion Lounge in LGA is pre-security? So I'd have to go through all the security stuff after? That doesn't make much sense!
• I wish there was a way to add Centurion Lounges to the Priority Pass App so its easier to find all lounges accessible by Amex Plat
• Probably not the place, but Priority Pass App shows the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge as a lounge accessible via Priority Pass in LGA, normally AC Maple League Lounges aren't on these lists, is this correct?

The USA version of the American Express Android app includes an integrated lounge finder tool which includes Airspace, Centurion, Delta, Escape, plus Priority Pass lounges. I do not know if the Canadian app has the same feature.
American Express can only build a lounge where space is available. LGA is the only one outside security.

I think I found it in the Amex Canada App! (My Platinum > Airport Lounges). Game changing, thank you so much!

Additionally, at LGA Terminal B, where the AMEX Centurion Lounge is, there are 4 separate concourses each with their own TSA checkpoints. Therefore, with the Centurion's being land side, lounge users don't have to clear security in one concourse just to get to the lounge, then clear security again to get to their gates.

Its a possibility but maybe too far in the future. Currently most centurions are targeted towards AA locations and gates. So they need to keep Delta's Skyclub for those clients. Also they are not AA partners so it was probably too expensive for them. To the contrary, they are big partners with Delta so it probably doesnt cost them as much.
