For American Express Platinum Card Members and eligible travelers, The Centurion Lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has long been a haven of comfort and luxury. However, due to the ongoing Terminal 3 West Modernization Project, this popular lounge in Terminal 3, Concourse F, is currently undergoing a temporary relocation.
What to Expect During the Transition
Starting June 15, 2025, The Centurion Lounge at SFO will move to a temporary location in Terminal 2, near Gate D12. This temporary space aims to continue providing eligible Card Members with a comfortable environment to relax and recharge. The full-scale, permanent lounge in a renovated Terminal 3 is anticipated to reopen in 2027.

Access and Amenities
Access to The Centurion Lounge is complimentary for American Express Platinum Card Members, Business Platinum Card Members, and Corporate Platinum Card Members. Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card Members also enjoy access when their same-day Delta flight is booked with their Delta Reserve card. Guests typically incur a fee of $50 USD ($30 USD for children aged 2-17), though Consumer and Business Platinum Card Members may qualify for complimentary guest access after spending $75,000 in eligible purchases on their card in a calendar year. Corporate Platinum Card Members receive two complimentary guests.

The lounge operates daily from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with the bar opening at 6:00 AM. It functions as a day-of-departure lounge, requiring Card Members to be within three hours of their departing flight or have a confirmed connecting flight.
While the lounge is temporarily closed at its original location, the Centurion Lounge network generally offers a range of premium amenities designed to enhance the travel experience. These can include:
* Premium Food & Beverages: Often featuring locally inspired cuisine and a full bar with spirits and liquors.
* Work & Relaxation Zones: High-speed Wi-Fi, printers, copiers, and comfortable seating areas.
* Family-Friendly Options: Children's Rooms are available in some locations.
* Personal Care: Shower suites for freshening up.
* Unique Touches: The SFO lounge is known for its Napa Valley wine tasting area.
Important Considerations
* Visitors must be 18 years or older to enter unless accompanied by an adult.
* Service animals are welcome, with a specific policy available on The Centurion Lounge website.
* The lounge is a non-smoking facility.
Even with the temporary move, eligible travelers can still look forward to a premium lounge experience at SFO, with a refreshed permanent space on the horizon.
