This is Amex’s flagship West Coast outpost, with seats for 530 in a 13,900-square-foot space. The latest Centurion Lounge to open is the LAX location. It features a stunning 30-foot-long mural by Amanda Moody, as well as new design elements throughout. It’s located past security and accessible by all passengers. The Charlotte Centurion Lounge is welcome news for the myriad of American Airlines travellers transiting through the airport. It’s adjacent to a brand-new Escape Lounge, too. It’s located in Terminal 4, on the upper level across from Gate B22.
