Entering The Centurion Lounge
I had just gotten my Platinum card. After my last visit to the Delta Sky Club at LGA, I hopped on an AA flight and came here to check out The Centurion Lounge. The flight was at 11:30 a.m., so I intentionally woke up early and got to the airport an hour and a half early to experience the perks of the Platinum card. The lounge is in Terminal B, between Concourses B and C, on the 3rd floor, before security. At LGA you usually arrive on the 2nd floor, then take the elevator up to the 3rd floor. It was easy to find with the signs.
Its opening hours are from 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; on Saturdays it closes early at 6:30 p.m.
One quick note on the new policy: you can enter the lounge within three hours of departure, and arriving flights are not eligible. Transfers are allowed, and for those there is no three-hour window. Children under 2 are free.
The Centurion Lounge Experience
Right after you enter, there are seating areas and workspace zones.
The little booths are pretty comfortable.
Walk through this hallway to reach the dining area.
Breakfast is served from 6:00 a.m. to before 11:00 a.m., then lunch and dinner are served afterward. Since this was an early flight, I only saw breakfast this time. Next time I’ll come back and grab some lunch photos too.
It was very early, so the bar counter was pretty empty.
The breakfast options were quite decent.
Overall, the eggs, yogurt, and fruit were good, and the French toast was quite sweet. If you want a soft drink, ask at the bar—you need to request it there. In the morning, alcohol was not yet set out, but by around lunch time the bar had it all displayed.
A unique-looking seat in the corner.
Takeaway
Overall, the space isn’t very large, maybe because it was early and therefore not crowded, and the breakfast was average. The one inconvenience is that it’s outside security, and since it’s only in Terminal B, it’s not very convenient when coming from another terminal or for transfer passengers.
