LAX is one of the most frequented airports by premium American Express Card Members, who booked 10% more flights through this airport in 2019 than the year prior. Building on the momentum of recent Centurion Lounge openings in Phoenix and Charlotte, today, American Express is opening its 12th Centurion Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport. The lounge will be American Express’ largest yet, spanning nearly 14,000 square feet in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, and accessible post-security from Terminals 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
This new location offers unique spa services and wellness experiences from Exhale and a menu from Los Angeles-based, award-winning Chef Nancy Silverton. “This new lounge is a great example of how we’re continuing to enhance the end-to-end airport journey for Card Members, from lounge discovery to the immersive experience waiting just behind the blue doors,” said Alexander Lee, Vice President of Travel Experiences and Benefits at American Express.
Relaxing Tranquility Area and Spa Services
For those traveling into new time zones, or guests hoping to relax before a long flight, the Centurion Lounge at LAX will feature a first-of-its-kind Sunrise and Moonrise tranquility rooms, offering brightly and dimly lit quiet spaces to relax and recharge.
