Part of: Do You Have Airport Lounge Access? How to Find Out (and Actually Use It) →
The American Express Centurion Lounge network is one of the most sought-after credit-card lounge programs in the world, open to eligible Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders with a same-day boarding pass. But Centurion Lounges are only at a specific set of airports, and Amex does not have one everywhere. Here is every Centurion Lounge location we track, plus the Escape “Centurion Studio Partner” lounges Platinum cardholders can also use, and exactly how to get in.

How to get into a Centurion Lounge
- Card: The Amex Platinum, Business Platinum, and Centurion cards include complimentary access for the cardholder with a same-day departing boarding pass, typically within 3 hours of your flight.
- Guests: Guest access has tightened; many cardholders now pay a per-guest fee or must meet an annual spend threshold to bring guests free. Confirm your card’s current terms.
- Not Priority Pass: Centurion Lounges are not part of Priority Pass. The Priority Pass on an Amex card opens different lounges, not the Centurion Lounge.
