American Express The Centurion Lounge
★4.0(2,535 reviews)PHL
PHL's standout lounge — a polished Amex space above the British Airways Lounge in A West.
The American Express Centurion Lounge at Philadelphia International sits in Concourse A West, above the British Airways Lounge, and opened on 31 October 2017. It's the most polished lounge at PHL and the obvious pick for eligible American Express cardholders. The space follows the Centurion template: a full hot-and-cold buffet, a proper bar serving wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks, and a contemporary, comfortable layout with a mix of seating zones. Access is for American Express Platinum and Centurion cardholders. The A West position makes it especially convenient for international travellers, though domestic passengers can also walk to it airside from Concourse A.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable place to work before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and a range of seating you can use for a laptop. Good for email and calls, though it's a relaxation lounge rather than a dedicated business centre.
A full hot-and-cold buffet in the Centurion style, with hot dishes, salads and lighter bites, alongside a proper bar pouring wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks. The spread refreshes through the day to cover early-morning and later departures.
