If they had just waited a year or 2 longer from their original March 2020 opening date, they could have placed it in the new TBIT Satellite Terminal that opened in 2021. And as a result, the lounge feels like they placed it in an unused supply closet in TBIT. It seems like Amex was desperate to get a lounge at LAX ASAP and took whatever space they could find pre-2020. Nicer plates/silverware and slightly better food aren't going to convince me to take the shuttle and go into the basement of TBIT, but if they want to help reduce the lines for the Sk圜lub, be my guest. I'm surprised I've encountered a few Delta flyers who opt to go to CL instead of the Sk圜lub even when their flight is out of T2/T3. I don't even think I would use it if I was flying out of T4. Yeah, the LAX Centurion Lounge is only worth it if you're already going to be flying out of TBIT. (Still grateful for the benefit, though.) Much preferred over fighting to exist in the LA AMEX lounge. I gulped down some (free) food, then nope'd outta there for the relative peace & quiet at my gate. (No matter where you try to sit, aside from the few individual chairs in the corridor, you'll be extremely close to someone else and will have to take care to avoid knocking over/into someone else's stuff.) Throw in kids/babies/strollers into the mix, and it wasn't a good time when I visited last. ![]() Combine that with people trying to sprawl out in what few chairs are there, and it's impossible to walk normally or have an isolated/peaceful experience. The LA lounge is overly cramped with hardly any space for people to store their carryons - so they block the sole narrow walkway/path to what little space is there. (Well, I can't argue that paying for food is better than getting it for free.)īUT, in terms of overall lounge (relaxation) experience - I argue it's actually more peaceful (albeit, less comfortable) if you can find an empty chair in the terminal. Did not realize I didn't note that and that must come off super snooty aboveĮven the crappiest CL with hot food and good drinks is better than paying $20 for a burger in the terminal. have a point!Įdit: I am such a pleb! If I was not confident I could profit off this card I'd cancel it and could never afford this fee just plain old up front. I see someone above saying they need to go Disney and flush out the, ahem, plebs with a higher rate- they. ![]() I can confidently/arithmetically say I profit slightly off the plat given the stuff I mentioned here hits 600+ nearly 600 already. ![]() That's before the hotel credit or a single amex offer and before I enter a single lounge. I spend 100.00% of the subscription benefit (NYT 20/month, gets me the athletic also, worth every penny), the uber benefit ( 240200*/yr, I've never had a month be slow enough that I didn't uber somewhere or order from uber eats once) I buy something on sale from Sax every 6 months (50/half year), hell I even get paramount+ by having amex pay walmart (14/month they pay them, but it's only worth 6/month to me as paramount is only 6 by itself). Fwiw it's not 700/yr or even >0/yr if you make good use of the benefits
