Complimentary snacks, drinks, charging stations, and even gift-wrapping services will be available for Platinum and Centurion cardholders.

'So far this year among premium US card members alone, we've seen a 15% increase in travel through Heathrow compared to last year.'Ī London location has been rumored on-and-off for several years, particularly after AmEx opened a pop-up lounge for holiday shoppers last year in the city.Īlongside the announcement, American Express is once again opening the pop-up Centurion Lounge in London's Covent Garden, at the Unit 6 art gallery on Langley Street. 'Heathrow is one of the top airports our premium card members travel through and its popularity is increasing all the time,' said Chris Cracchiolo, a senior vice president of global loyalty and benefits at AmEx. Charlotte is American's biggest hub aside from Dallas Fort-Worth (which currently has a Centurion Lounge), and London Heathrow is a popular gateway to Europe for American Airlines and Oneworld alliance loyalists - although the London location will also appeal to a larger range of flyers who transit through Heathrow's Terminal 3. While the two new lounges will be accessible to cardholders regardless of airline flown - as is the case with all current Centurion Lounges - both should prove particularly useful for those who fly American Airlines. At 13,000 square feet, it will be one of the larger Centurion Lounges throughout the network alongside other new locations opening next year.Īmex Platinum Card and Centurion (or 'Black Amex') cardholders have access to Centurion Lounges before flights. That lounge, which is scheduled to open in early 2020, will be located after security between Concourse D and E.

The new domestic Centurion Lounge, at Charlotte Douglas Airport (CLT) in North Carolina, has been anticipated since plans leaked late last month. It will feature similar amenities to other Centurion Lounges, including complimentary food and drinks, showers, plenty of seats, and access to Wi-Fi. Located in Terminal 3, which services flights to the US on a number of carriers including Delta, American, and Virgin Atlantic, the lounge will be around 7,000 square feet.

The first new lounge will open at London's Heathrow airport (LHR) in 2019. American Express has announced two new airport Centurion Lounge locations, including its second lounge outside the US.
