San Diego airport is getting an Escape Lounge, which are especially nice common use lounges generally accessible with Priority Pass.
Last month I was first to write about the new Centurion New York with food by chef Daniel Boulud coming to the 55th floor of One Vanderbilt, about a block from the Hyatt Grand Central (former Grand Hyatt).
We now know exactly what to expect – and that all American Express cardmembers will be able to make reservations for dining.
In May I wrote that Phoenix airport would replace the small The Club lounge there with a new 9,532 square foot lounge.
At the time I speculated it would be “a Centurion lounge — or perhaps less likely could become an Escape or Airspace lounge.” It turns out the recommendation is for two lounges.
A couple of weeks ago there was a rumor circulating that a new American Express Centurion Lounge would open in Charlotte. I confirmed it through City Council documents. American Express for their part now confirms the project:
In addition, American Express announced a new London Heathrow Centurion Lounge in terminal 3.
Hyatt has launched its partnership with SLH hotels offering points and elite credit earning on paid stays, and points redemptions.
More options for where to use your points are better. Full stop. And there are some lovely properties included in this portfolio. This gives members more nice places to use their points.
A roundup of the most important stories of the day. I keep you up to date on the most interesting writings I find on other sites – the latest news and tips.
On Monday the City of Charlotte is expected to approve a 10 year lease (and two five year extension options) to American Express for building of a Centurion lounge at their airport. Here’s the detail:
A week and a half ago the Dallas Fort-Worth Centurion lounge re-opened in its new larger location.
At the time I wrote that “I still expect that the lounge will get crowded at peak times.”
American Express closed the Dallas Fort-Worth lounge, and today it re-opens in a new location.
The new lounge has all of the amenities of the old lounge with some additions and mostly more capacity for guests. There’s the buffet and full bar, complimentary spa treatments, conference room and family room, and an three shower rooms.
A month ago I wrote that the Dallas Fort-Worth Centurion lounge would be closed through mid-August for ‘repairs’. American Express said the lounge would re-open August 14. I wrote “hopefully that project will not delay” of course projects of this sort always delay.
