AMEX Centurion Lounge Near ATL Gate E11 Opens Tomorrow 2/14/24
SIAP,
but I guess I'll have to make a quick trip down to ATL to check this baby out. Here's an article on The Points Guy about it.

Sweet, as I have been waiting for this club to open up for so long!! Was departing the Term F SkyClub before, as the agent thank me for coming and “we’ll see you again”, but I said I’m not coming back here now that the AmEx Centurion is opening. 👍 About time the big DL has significant competition in its ATL backyard.☺️ Can’t wait for Sunday to visit.
I highly predict that the DL SC premium drink offerings will take a significant hit, as all premium drinks are complementary at the Centurion Lounge. I also find the staff is more warmly accommodating with customers , as tips are not expected at the Centurion Lounge rather than the DL contracted SC agents with their hands out looking for a tip which a membership fee has already be paid for and/or ticket. Flight attendants don’t pass around a tip jar inflight.

Arrival access is not a benefit of Centurion lounges. They may be so at their discretion at "select" lounges, but it is not provided as a rule unlike DL Sky Club access. This is listed in Centurion access T&C's.

I imagine they didn't do a full cater for the photo shoot... the food there didn't look as plentiful or interesting as other Centurion lounges I've been to. The food reminds me more of what the closet in SEA offered prior to them expanding into the upper floor above the center terminal.

A staff member said something nice to you and this is your response and then you accuse them of not being warm and friendly?😂. Wonder why

I was in the Centurion Lounge in Terminal D of IAH on Saturday 2/10. I got there at 0755 for an 1100 flight (IAH-ATL-LIT) on Delta out of Terminal A (where there is a United Club in the middle of the Delta gates). There were two "dragons" at the front desk, one male and one female. I dealt with the male, who quietly admitted me, even though I was 5 minutes early. The female denied the person to my right, loudly berating him for getting to the lounge more than 3 hours before his flight.
At JFK, Mrs. ND76 and I recently had a 5+ layover. We visited the SkyClubs at the top of the entrance to the Delta A gates and B30. Between them, we stopped at the AMEX Centurion probably four hours before our flight to Europe, and they let us in.
