The new bar complements the existing wine wall where guests can sample wines from across California. Locally sourced wine: The lounge will feature a new bar where guests can enjoy specialty wine flights highlighting four regional wines curated by renowned wine authority Anthony Giglio. The lounge is located in Terminal 3 on the mezzanine level. The Centurion Lounge at SFO will now have more space for eligible Card Members to enjoy, including two wine bars and café areas, additional restrooms, private phone rooms, several private workspaces, and more. According to Amex it features additional seating, a second bar with specialty wine flights and a new menu. The new Amex Centurion lounge at SFO is 16,000 square feet which is almost double the size of the old lounge.

I could only stay a few minutes because it was so overcrowded and dirty that it was actually nicer to be out in the terminal. I’ve visited it several times and on my last visit it felt like a warzone. Perhaps the most hectic of all Amex lounges was the one at SFO. American Express is also going to start limiting guest access early next year as well to help with the crowds. For example, in the past few years several Centurion lounges including Dallas, Seattle, Miami and Las Vegas have all been expanded. One of the ways American Express has tried to deal with overcrowding issues is to expand the sizes of their lounges. That said, it’s still better than being out in the terminal. What used to be a calm and relaxing place to spend a couple of hours before a flight has now become somewhat more hectic and crowded. Love them or hate them, the American Express Centurion lounges have become a staple of travel for many of us. Amex Centurion Lounge SFO – Photo courtesy American Express Expanded Amex Centurion Lounge SFO Reopens 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.This post may contain affiliate links please read our advertiser disclosure for more information. 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). 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?
