If you have a British Airways Executive Club Silver card, it is a toss up between the Cathay Pacific Business Class lounge, reviewed here and the Qantas London Lounge, reviewed here. If you have a British Airways Executive Club Gold card or are flying in First Class, the obvious choice is the Cathay Pacific First Class lounge, reviewed here, image above.
Don’t bother with the British Airways or American Airlines offerings! If your flight is now operating from Terminal 3, you will be able to access some world class airport lounges. It’s expected that construction could start fairly soon, and hopefully the lounge will open in the summer of 2023.Which lounge should you visit in Terminal 3? This concept has been approved today at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey board meeting. Centurion Lounges generally have great food & drinks Bottom lineĪmerican Express will be opening a huge Centurion Lounge at Newark Airport. Amex Centurion Lounges are in a way a victim of their own success - they’re so much better that most other airport lounges, so they often end up getting quite crowded, to the point that they’re not very relaxing.
Unfortunately I’m not as excited as some other people when it comes to these lounges. This sounds like a pretty awesome Centurion Lounge to me - not only will it be huge, but those are some cool-sounding amenities. A wellness room, workstation, and “world-class restroom facilities”.
A speakeasy-themed backstage cocktail lounge. Multiple signature Amex food and bar areas. A viewing terrace overlooking the airfield, Port of Newark, New York and Newark Harbor, and the Manhattan skyline. Per the proposal, the lounge will include a variety of amenities, including: The airport itself won’t have to make any capital investments in connection to the lounge. Payment is expected to start around August 1, 2023, or when the lounge opens, so it sounds like that’s the closest we have to a timeline for the lounge potentially opening.Īmerican Express will pay a total of $121.5 million over the term of the lease, and will invest approximately $100 million to construct the terminal expansion. The lease will start around January 1, 2022, and will continue for around 15 years. The lounge will be located on the third floor of the building, while the areas on the first and second floor will be subleased to third parties. A Centurion Lounge is coming to Newark Airport Details of the Amex Centurion Lounge NewarkĪccording to the proposal, American Express will open an 18,000 square foot lounge in a 50,000 square foot expansion building of the new Newark Airport Terminal A. If nothing else, more lounge space is always a good thing in terms of less crowding in other lounges. This is exciting on many levels, not just because it will be the largest Centurion Lounge to date, but also because it means there will be a Centurion Lounge at all three major airports in the NYC area.įurthermore, Newark Airport lacks exciting lounge options other than from United, so it will be nice to have an alternative. For those not familiar, Centurion Lounges are some of the awesome lounges that those with the Amex Platinum have access to - for many cardmembers, lounge access is a favorite perk.Īmerican Express can now finalize a 15-year lease to open a lounge in the new Terminal A building. The construction of an Amex Centurion Lounge at Newark Airport was officially approved today during a Port Authority of New York and New Jersey board meeting.
