American Express Centurion Lounges
Centurion Lounges by American Express are my favorite type of lounge within the collection. Locations include Las Vegas, Dallas, New York (LGA), San Francisco, Miami, Seattle, and Houston, with Hong Kong and Philadelphia coming soon. As a cardholder, you receive access for yourself and up to two guests traveling with you.
We’ve had the opportunity to stop by a few of the Centurion Lounges including:

I live in Vancouver BC Canada and I purposely fly out of seatec so I can use their Amex centurion lounge
What about the global lounges in Mexico City airport and a few other locations?
Priority pass lounges are not as good as described Recently on a trip to South America in Lima the waiting list to get in was over 2 hs long an in Buenos Aires Amex platinum cardholders are allowed in the lounge only from 10:00 PM to 2:00 PM !!! Is that a real benefit???
I will be flying to London and Toronto at the end of July. If I apply for a Platinum card now. Will I be able to get Priority Pass in time for my trip? Do I have to wait until I reach minimum spend?
You can use the lounges as soon as your amex card arrives. Ask if they can expedite it. Link it to your priority pass account, and don’t forget to download the PP app so you can have a virtual card to use when entering the lounges. Saves you from having to carry the physical PP card in your wallet.
I am flying from Houston on New Years day with my partner, four adult children and my parents. I have Amex platinum and partner has a supplementary card and a gold card in her name. I am desperate to visit the centurian lounge but don’t want to ditch the family. Any ideas if this is possible?
Some genuinely interesting details you have written.Helped me
a lot, just what I was searching for :D.
