ago I dont think Ive used the Centurion Lounge at SEA since pre-Covid times for that reason. The credit card programs that offer membership in these lounges have forever changed the experience. Chicago OHare International Airport (ORD): 3 hrs 4 mins.

Travelers are forced to deal with these undesirable conditions all while the price of membership has increased over the years. The buffet food offers are something from a 5th grade lunch and they have become so crowded that you may spend more time searching for a seat than actually relaxing inside the club. Due to Airlines desire to turn a profit from all the services they offer these club have lost any feel of luxury or peace to relax while traveling. For many years club lounges represented luxury and the price of membership ensured they would not ever have so many member that you would not be able to tell the difference from regular terminal waiting areas to those of the club. These use to be places to escape the busy terminal traffic and relax in comfort and peace knowing they would be less congested of people and would offer more amenities that seating next to the gates. I don't have any real issues with it.īeing a member of club lounges for years before the pandemic. As of that date, Platinum Card and Business Platinum Card from American Express card holders will. The staff anxiously took away my paper plates and napkins and plastic fork as soon as I finished, and sometimes before. 1, 2023, American Express is changing the guest access policy for Centurion Lounges. On my request for a second chardonnay, he apparently felt sorry for me and filled a bigger, red wine glass with the chardonnay. The barman served my complimentary chardonnay in a white wine glass but,looked and moved like his pet dog had just died. Luckily I was able to escape the children by having out in the alcohol bar area. I had to step back to allow for children grabbing bags of chips and spending long minutes at the soda fountain. The food bar included hot meatballs in tomato sauce (don't tell my nutrionist!) and the usual salad bar and cookies apples nanananas and bagged chips. I don't trust dogs where food is (fleas, disease, dirty, etc.) On the thought that the lounge was big and I wouldn't see the dog again, I entered, and I was right.
