American Express is gearing up to reopen its prestigious Centurion Lounges. The private spaces for Amex cardholders, which have remained shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic, will reopen beginning October 5, 2020. The Philadelphia and Seattle lounges will be the first to open (on the 5th), with other locations following suit after that. As of now, there are no definitive opening dates for the other lounges.

The Centurion Lounge will also undergo an expansion in some locations. According to American Express, both the LaGuardia (New York) and McCarran (Las Vegas) locations will grow substantially.
