My life changed so much for the better once I got lounge access.
Unlimited free food and beverages (restaurant quality at The Centurion), free WiFi to do some work, and a clean relaxing space to decompress a bit or even shower before a flight.
Will never pay $18 for a mediocre airport sandwich again.
- sithadmin 5y agoI’m very much looking forward to the Centurion Lounge ending their ‘2 free guests’ admission policy next year. They’re fantastic lounges when they aren’t horrifically overcrowded and have screaming kids running around, which seemed to increasingly be the norm up until COVID hit. By 2018 or so, I often began avoiding the Centurion in favor of Delta lounges just to have some space to myself.
- seemaze 5y agoLol, we have a saying where I work: The only thing better than executive platinum status is not having to get on another f#cking airplane.

- OminousWeapons 5y agoYea the current Amex Platinum annual fee is insane but the lounge access you get on that card is pretty amazing. It really is worth it if you travel a lot.
- toomuchtodo 5y ago$700/year for a metal coupon book is starting to push it, and the Centurion lounges are nice but not that nice.
- danhak 5y agoYeah, the current fee ($695) is a bit eye popping. But I am actually using every penny of the airline, Uber and Equinox credits ($200 + $200 + $300) so it’s effectively free for me and all the extra benefits like lounge access are icing on the cake.

- sneak 5y agoAlso, these days: tons of rich entitled antimaskers (many unvaccinated) doing their rich, entitled, no mask thing in a crowded venue where they can usually get away with it (food and bev nearby). One stroll through any airport concourse will show you all the people defiantly dicknosing, unchallenged. My current life goal is to become rich enough to fly private everywhere simply to avoid the epic asshattery now on blatant display in every public space in the global west these days. Selfish, entitled people are torture to be crowded around.
- monksy 5y agoThis wasn't the case in Mexico city airport a month ago. most people there were wearing KN95s properly.
- mardifoufs 5y agoHow do you know they are unvaccinated? Do you expect vaccinated people to mask up for... Ever just to feel safer? At that point who's the selfish and entitled person? The guy just living his life or the one expecting people to wear masks even if they are vaccinated just to make you feel safe? Unless you assume that anyone without a mask is unvaccinated.
- JohnClark1337 5y agoI'm vaccinated and don't wear a mask now unless a place still requires it. Fight me.
- balozi 5y agoAirline club lounges are a racket of their own. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
- kenneth 5y agoHaha, it's been a long time since I've found a Centurion lounge relaxing. Lounge access is only good when it's not full of people who just pay for a credit card. I'm quite fond of the Cathay, Swiss, and Lufthansa first class lounges. Centurions have gone completely down-hill since the Platinum got popular.
