LaGuardia's flagship card lounge for eligible Amex Platinum and Centurion holders.
The American Express Centurion Lounge sits airside in LaGuardia's Terminal B, near gates 41-59. It's the airport's headline card lounge, open to eligible American Express Platinum and Centurion cardholders rather than the general public. The Centurion network is known for a more premium experience than a standard contract lounge, typically pairing chef-curated food with a full bar and a calm, design-forward interior. For a traveller carrying an eligible Amex card and flying from Terminal B, it's the most rewarding lounge at LGA and a comfortable place to settle before a flight.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable pre-flight workspace with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though it's more of a relaxation lounge than a dedicated business space.
The Centurion Lounge is built around its food and drink. Expect a chef-curated menu of hot and cold dishes that refreshes through the day, alongside a full bar serving wines, beers, spirits and cocktails plus barista-style coffee, tea and soft drinks — a clear step up from a standard buffet lounge.
