![]() ![]() It’s very rare that I have any issues unless weather or mechanical and, anyway, usually even two hour connections at that point are affected and the situation is not just with short ones. If I do need a connection though I go for the 45 minute to one hour type which puts me right off the plane and boarding the next. First of all I tend to always forgo any sort of connections and opt for non-stops 80% of the time. “Tight” connections, as you call them, are different from short ones. Perhaps there is really is nothing American Express can do without more notice, but at this point it should eliminate all guest access…there just isn’t room for them. It has gone from bad to worse and summer has not even started. It is amazing to me how crowded the American Express Centurion Lounges have become. And in the meantime, lines out the door and waiting lists mark an urgent problem that must be addressed. I know that likely cannot be done so quickly, which is why American Express has announced that Platinum cardholders will need to spend $75,000 on the card in 2022 to continue to enjoy guest access in 2023.īut spending $75K is likely not all that hard for most cardmembers and I cannot imagine it will make a huge dent in guest access. It should not even be available for purchase access should be reserved for cardholders and their authorized users (who are also cardholders). It has taken me some time and observation to reach this point (as a husband and father of two who loves to travel with his family), but American Express should immediately eliminate guest access. American Express Should Eliminate All Guest Access I’ve seen crowded lounges and waiting lists, but how pathetic to pay $695 each year for a credit card and have to wait in lines like this in order to enter an airport lounge? Nothing screams “relaxing” or “luxurious” like long lines in Las Vegas. This is just the line to get into the lounge! Can you imagine how crowded it is inside the lounge? Then I noticed my friend Ed Pizzarello, who writes the Pizza In Motion blog, posted the following video outside the American Express Centurion Lounge in Las Vegas (LAS): Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously.I walked away shaking my head (the Capital One Lounge was not nearly as crowded).
