A couple of years back, we unofficially learned that an Amex Centurion Lounge would be coming to Newark Airport. While Amex hadn’t announced it at the time, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had approved the project. There’s now an update, as Amex has formally revealed its plans for this lounge… though…

Everyone look carefully at the pictures. You can find a place to sit on the floor because that’s where you’ll be. These lounges are overcrowded. I canceled our platinum card instead got the Delta reserve card. I’ve been much happier with it because I don’t sit on the floor.
Lucky - you seem to have overlooked the nice new AA lounge opening soon in Terminal A.
Can't wait to travel from the other side of the world to experience the new restrooms that they mention!
You already had the same access to the Delta sky clubs with the Amex Platinum card. Plus, the coupon book on the Platinum card, and 5x on flights, makes it a better value than the Delta Reserve card. I have both, but I’ll likely downgrade my Reserve card after a year, unless Delta truly gives Reserve cardholder preferential access to SkyClubs.
This club is likely to be swarmed with travelers just like LGA and EWR.
The biggest crowd perhaps is that this club will have much more leisure travelers compared to LGA and EWR because almost all (besides United’s small operation at A) are dedicated to hub services. Between all the flights to Atlanta and Dallas on American and Delta, plus all the NYer’s going up and down to Fort Laurderdale on JetBlue, there will be surely a line out the door.
It is insane how many platinum users there are in NY. first, the thousands of Amex employees based in NYC. Second, all the 20 year all consultants, the target platinum audience, plus all the wealthy people in nyc
The US has all these fancy lounges and private terminals but cannot get a single world-class airport terminal architecture that muggles can at least enjoy. Can't even get a glass jet bridge for their major airports in the 2020s.
I think that is slowly beginning to change with so much airport redevelopment happening. To the glass jet bridges, that's a matter of regulation in the US that doesn't allow for windows on jet bridges.
They managed to do it in Kansas of all cities, yet the recent terminals in LA, SF, NYC, Orlando, Boston, and others still have average architecture and no glass jet bridges despite having all the money there.
$100M to build a lounge?! That is truly astonishing. Can that possibly be right? In China they could build a freeway for that much…
I've been wondering about the actual location of this lounge and looked at architectural renderings of both the redeveloped Terminal A and Terminal B. Per the report that it will be in a separate building, my theory is that it could be part of a new connector between A and B, which could mean the lounge would serve both domestic and international. The renderings also show a possible connector to Terminal C.
