Also on deck for 2023 and beyond are three new Centurion lounge locations (Atlanta, Newark, Washington–DCA), plus a growing number of outposts internationally.īad news: Centurion’s guest policy is changing for the worse. Later in 2023, a brand-new Seattle Centurion lounge will be triple the size of the current one, boasting views of the Olympic Mountains. Good news: The newly expanded San Francisco Centurion lounge reopened on December 31, 2022, with twice the space and an additional bar and a new menu from San Francisco’s Liholiho Yacht Club Executive Chef Ravi Kapur. There are currently 13 Centurion Lounges in the United States (Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York–LGA, New York–JFK, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle). The most coveted ones in the portfolio are Centurion Lounges, American Express’s signature airport lounges. The Platinum Card® from American Express ($695 annual fee, see rates and fees) offers the most extensive network of airport lounges of any credit card, including the Priority Pass network, Plaza Premium lounges, Lufthansa lounges, and more. Here, a glimpse of the good, the bad, and the ugly of what’s to come in the world of airport lounges in 2023. On the flip side, credit card companies are investing heavily into expanding their lounge networks to meet current demand-and giving us a lot to look forward to. In response, credit cards as well as lounges are tightening their access policies in 2023. But with so many travel credit cards offering airport lounge access as a primary perk of being a cardholder, the lounges themselves aren’t quite fulfilling promises of serenity these days. This, in turn, has prompted more fliers to seek calm within the chaos, namely in the comfort of airport lounges. Travel’s big comeback has translated to busier-and more stressful-airports.
