Love spending time at the Centurion Lounges? Consider getting a job at the LaGuardia lounge!

One of the great perks with either the Platinum Card® from American Express, or the The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, is access to American Express Centurion Lounges.

I’ve been to the one in New York’s LGA Airport multiple times, and it appears the lounge is currently hiring:
