A recent Amex Trendex* survey found that a majority of consumers
(62%) would feel comfortable traveling by plane domestically over
the next 6 months. With this in mind, American Express is
continuing to grow its premium Centurion Lounge network and enhance
travel benefits to support Card Members whenever they choose to
travel next. In addition to these updates, the company is
continuing to offer elevated health-and-safety practices, as part
of the “Centurion Lounge Commitment.”
“We’ve been steadily growing our lounge footprint around the
world and are excited to bring a premium lounge experience to
Reagan National Airport, and upgrade our lounges at San Francisco
International and Seattle-Tacoma International Airports,” said
Alexander Lee, Vice President of Travel Experiences & Benefits.
“Historically, these are among the top airports our Card Members
have traveled through and we want to ensure they have a safe,
spacious and comfortable place to relax during their travels today
and in the future."
The Nation’s Capital will Welcome a New Centurion
Lounge
With floor to ceiling windows, airfield views and one-of-a-kind
design elements inspired by the city’s history, the new Centurion
Lounge at DCA will span more than 11,500-square-feet. The upcoming
lounge in DCA is estimated to open in late 2022, following the
airport’s completion of Project Journey, a $1 billion capital
improvement project. Built from the ground up, the entrance will be
located in National Hall near Terminal B, after security.
In addition to special local touches, the Centurion Lounge will
feature signature amenities such as a complimentary custom bar1 and
food menu, premium restrooms and shower suites, access to
high-speed Wi-Fi, noise-buffering workspaces, and more.

airfield and Olympic Mountains, additional restrooms, private phone

purveyors from the Bay Area. New amenities include a second bar and
café area, additional restrooms, private phone rooms and even more
private workspaces.
Card Members visiting The Centurion Lounges at SEA and SFO will
also continue to benefit from elevated health-and-safety practices,
