Honestly, the loss of the Amex lounges are pretty insignificant on the level of loss - though I realize that’s YMMV depending on the travel situations of others. Now that VentureX has the Plaza Premium access also, and with the guest access policy in Feb, I’m likely to cancel next year - I usually am traveling with kids, who I can’t even add as AUs since they are both well <13, and I can continue with the VX and still have my lounge access with C1. I’ve been to a couple of lounges - SFO, DEN and SEA, all once - but honestly, I get value out of the credits/offers, and mostly, since this was the card that would still get me access to Plaza Premium lounges, since I fly out of YYZ/YVR often. While I always liked the concept of the Centurion lounges, by the time I actually determined the card was worth it for me - with the refresh - I always expected the Centurion lounge was going to be one of the least useful benefits - given the lines, with my home airport as SFO. I almost wish Amex would just give us a voucher for the regular airport vendors (like an airline does for a controllable delay). May still be better to just run to Klein’s or Napa Farms, which, yes, you need to pay for, but probably much better food (which is typically the case via-a-vis the SFO CL food anyway). Water and bottled coffee.yikes - I told my industry friend that with the lounge closure, I’m just as likely to get in now as I do when I’ve been traveling in the past, since I try not to get to the airport insanely early, and there’s always a line.Īs for the grab and go….8am?

The space will also undergo a visual “refresh” during its closure, as well as a revamped menu from Executive Chef Ravi Kapur, along with a second bar and cafe area. The lounge will close early at 9 pm on June 21st, 2023 for maintenance. The plan is to expand into an adjacent area located in the terminal’s mezzanine level that’s currently being used as airport offices and storage space. The expansion will add over 15,000 square feet to the lounge, which will almost double its footprint. So in November 2020 SFO’s Airport Commission unanimously approved an expansion project for the lounge. But when paying several hundred dollars per year for a Platinum card, one expects a certain expectation of perks. Amex also eliminated $50 day passes for non-Platinum cardholders. Overcrowding became such a problem that American Express had to enforce time limits at the lounge (most cardholders were only allowed in within 3 hours of a departing flight), as well as limit how many guests a member could bring in with them. Unfortunately, the space, one of 16 lounges at SFO, has always been too small for the amount of AMEX members who wanted to gain entry. SAN FRANCISCO-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Today American Express (NYSE:AXP) reopened the newly expanded Centurion Lounge at the San Francisco International Airport. Located beyond the security checkpoint in United’s Terminal 3, across from Gates F1 and F2, the lounge has been popular ever since its opening in 2014. The closure is for a good reason, though – it’s reportedly going to expand. Effective today, September 6th, the American Express Centurion Lounge at San Francisco International Airport has temporarily closed.
