The Good
- Brand-new purpose-built space with the latest Centurion Lounge design standards
- Stunning views of the Manhattan skyline from certain seating areas
- Chef-driven food program with genuine NYC flavor profiles
- One of the quieter Centurion Lounges in the network since LGA is primarily domestic
The Bad
- Still gets busy during the morning rush as commuter flights depart
- Only Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders can access, no third-party programs
- Food options are slightly smaller than the JFK Centurion Lounge
Pro Tips
- The Manhattan skyline views from the window seats on the east side are worth seeking out. On clear days you can see all the way from the Empire State Building to the Freedom Tower.
- Since Terminal B and C are connected airside, you can visit this lounge even if your gate is in Terminal C. Just allow 5 to 7 minutes for the walk back.
- The craft beers from Other Half rotate frequently. If you see a fresh IPA on tap, grab it. These are hyped releases that sell out at the brewery within hours.
- Morning visits before 6:00 AM are essentially private. The first wave of business travelers hits around 6:30 AM.
