What’s New
American Express is expanding its Centurion Lounge network with two new locations and a significant upgrade at an existing hub. A full Centurion Lounge will debut at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) in Terminal C by 2029. This two-story space will include an outdoor terrace — a rare feature in airport lounges — offering travelers a chance to step outside before flights.Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) will gain a Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge in 2027. While Sidecars are smaller than flagship Centurion Lounges, they still provide a premium space to relax with food and beverage offerings.
For travelers familiar with the crowded Centurion Lounge at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), relief is on the way: the space will nearly double in size by 2027, easing congestion during peak times.
What This Means for You
If you hold an Amex Centurion or Platinum card (or are considering one), these updates strengthen the value of lounge access — especially if you frequently transit BOS, CLT, or DFW. The BOS lounge’s outdoor terrace could be a standout perk for those wanting fresh air pre-flight.Keep in mind the timelines: BOS won’t open until 2029, so this isn’t an immediate benefit. However, the DFW expansion and CLT Sidecar will arrive sooner, in 2027. If you’re due for a card review or upgrade, these developments might factor into your decision.
As always, check the Amex lounge website for real-time status updates as opening dates approach.
