With that said, there really aren't many more options other than lounge expansion, which at this point seems unlikely, at least at MIA.
I would rather start losing companion access than have access be limited for actual cardholders.

A bit full, but not seriously crowded at sfo right now. I can put up with the at capacity lounge, but was forced to move seats cause a group of 20 something frat boys decided to sit at the next table. Maybe I am just getting old, but can't put up with that stuff anymore.

Everyone in the lounge gave the guy who made the comment a big smile!

LAS super busy now
Stopped by for late lunch just now (2:30) , place is a zoo. Not a single table in the dining area and barely any seats. I ate at the long wood table by the computers. Not sure if it's the holiday weekend or what...
On the plus side food and drinks are delicious. I'm loving the baked pasta, maybe a bit too much.

Was at LAS last weekend, there was a line and the place was packed... after presenting my Cent card lady showed us to 4 tables that had black 'reserved' signs and said these were for Cents only..easy peasy.

Two Centurion facilities today:
SEA at 5am: three seats reserved for Centurions and not too busy at all. Small queue was there waiting for it to open.
MIA this evening at 9pm. Absolute joke, as per other reports rammed with families. No reserved seats or tables for Centurions like other facilities, feeding time at the zoo at both the bar and buffet. Front desk told me no special drinks for Centurion at the bar but I spotted the Veuve. They then look at me and ask if I am 'a black card holder'. I left not long after that.

Who would have thought Amex would be in the Food and Beverage business?

July 10 - 2.30 PM SEA Centurion Studio exp.
Absolutely horrible experience. Over crowded and had to wait outside for over 20 minutes. Kids and family were separated finally when we got seating. I was standing the whole time cos of lack of chairs. Food quality is so-so.
