Amex is known for its popular Centurion Lounges, which feature nice decor, and a solid selection of food and drinks. We’ve known for quite some time that Amex plans on expanding its Centurion Lounge in the Pacific Northwest, and that lounge is finally open as of today.

This is a very welcome upgrade at SeaTac. Also not to lost is the expanded hours of operations. The old lounge was open 7am-7pm & cardmembers we're sol when flying any non DL airline early or late

I was the 2nd person in this lounge ever today. Only continental breakfast until 730. Smoothies are not available until 11am. Lots of nice space but sadly pretty underwhelming spread for early morning flightd

Can anyone report a noticeable difference on crowding now with the removal of guests?

Is that the long term plan or is it just because of it being the 1st day? Old Amex lounge had pretty good breakfast options.

Presidents Week, with travel starting Friday night/Saturday, will be an interesting test.

That's the first time since Feb 1 that families with school aged kids will be traveling en masse.

They told me that is the long term plan. Solidified by the fact that the times are on signs mounted to the walls (not temporary standup etc”

Yes! As SEA has a large bank of flights departing after 7PM. I recall entering the lounge one time in the early evening - and being warned that lounge closes early, so eat quickly!

Damn, that's a shame. What kind of items did they have out for a continental breakfast? Was hoping to hit this lounge up next week before a 7 am flight.

Around 330pm on Thursday last week, the LAX lounge was at about 80 percent of capacity. I have to say that I'm not contributing to Amex lounge over-crowding (and I have guest privileges). I'm fortunate enough to have lounge access with a range of airlines. I'll take proprietary airline lounges over Amex lounges every single time.

Glad to hear that because that means one less guest in the CL.

Thank you for your service Lee!

You were in the lounge. How were you not contributing to the crowd in the lounge? Are you a ghost?

The Peach Cobbler French Toast is excellent. Great staff, as usual.

What!? No chicken thighs? Are you sure this is an Amex lounge?

Let's see how much of this becomes reality. Let's see how long how much of this lasts. I have to say that as the lounge gets crowded I assume many of the services to be cut. The other lounges are very similar to ordinary airline lounges with a bar, buffet, and a self drink service station. A lot of what they are promoting is nothing more than what they are doing now in other lounges. Bar tenders making the coffees, etc. It's just that they are showcasing it separately for some promotion.

Hate to say this but you can’t trust whatever Amex advertises as its opening menu. They’ll be serving chicken thighs in no time.

Only available for guests with outbound flights. Was stopping by and wanted to grab a quick bite. But was informed they changed their policy for that location about 3 years ago.

This is the policy at every location.

The 5am opening time is the single biggest improvement, 95% of the time I fly from SEA it's a 7am flight, rendering the previous Centurion lounge worthless.

Not well-trained, lack of knowledge staff about entry requirements at this centurion lounge in Seattle where staff are outright arrogant and unapologetic of their incompetence. They scanned our QR codes twice on our AMEX apps, along checking our boarding passes and id, still demanding us to pay $50. Not worth using the AMEX PLAT card. Other major competitors are much more better in providing lounge benefits.
