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, concourses C, D, E, F, and G are all connected airside to the Centurion lounge. From boarding areas A or B you would have to clear security twice. For the most up-to-date info, see Connecting in SFO thread in the FlyerTalk San Francisco forum.

Q: Can I visit if I'm arriving at SFO?
A: Centurion Lounges no longer offer access on arrival.

I swung by the Centurion lounge during my layover today and it was still closed. I could not see any meaningful signs of re-opening before the end of the CY. Since Checkpoint 3 did not close, I'm assuming the lounge is being expanded towards F3, F4, etc. and the precheck checkpoint with the kitchen being expanded and replaced. All of the windows headed that direction are still covered and I witnessed a construction crew coming out but could not catch them to see if they could share anything. None were wearing hardhats or any protective gear so perhaps they're addressing small things to get the CO.

Based on what I saw today I feel relatively confident that it is close to reopening but that we are are looking at the first week or two of January.

Thank you Kacee,

I have never been to this Delta lounge. Actually, not been to any Delta lounge.
Is it worth paying $39 to bring a guest? How does it compare to the Centurion Lounge?

Thanks for the update. Believe there is a milestone reopening target of 2022 so don't be surprised if it happens tmrw or Sat.

The expansion portion is about twice the size
of the original. And yes it does extend the full length of the covered windows.

Saw on one of the employees IG posts of the new section and it looks like a big cafeteria room similar to the Vegas lounge. Hot station on one end and bar on the other end.

Not sure how practical to have a hot station furthest away from the kitchen but only time will say.

I'll be back in SF the week of January 9, will check again then to see if its open or not. I agree that if its the Vegas like setup it will run into congestion issues. When they designed the DEN lounge, they did it right IMO where the food and two bars are in distinctly separate areas to help manage congestion and traffic flow. While the walkway past the main bar can get crowded at times, keeping everything separate was the right call. Curious to hear if anyone passes through before the week of January 9 and if/when they notice it opening.

Amex website updated with new hours to boot (5am - 9pm) 🎉

https://www.thecenturionlounge.com/locations/sfo/

Tried to see if there were any updates to the menu (the press release didn’t really show or mention anything) but tapping on the Sample Menu pops up a “Grab and Go” list of items available from 8am - 6pm 🤔

Looking forward to seeing some real pics
