I will defer to others’ experiences if that is often the case. That has not been my experience when in Centurion or any other lounges – I have rarely if ever seen behavior like that – and have often seen rude and obnoxious behavior from other adults. In reading some of the reports (and angry comments!), some people have reported Centurion Lounges turning into “giant playrooms, with kids running amok”. Perhaps they will soon remove those kid areas to add more seats! On the other hand, it’s a bit ridiculous for American Express to have built play rooms / kid areas like this one at the Centurion Lounge Las Vegas airport and then limit the ability for kids to use them! I’d rather see a limit either to the total number of times you can visit or maybe limit authorized users from being able to access the lounges. And I can understand trying to solve this problem, though I think this is the wrong way to handle it. I think the root cause of these change is that there has been a ton of overcrowding issues in the lounges. This change to the Centurion Lounge access policy will go into effect on March 30th and is now posted on the Centurion Lounge homepage. I’ve seen reports on this from View from the Wing, One Mile at a Time, Miles to Memories, The Points Guy and several other folks, including my favorite from PFDigest – Amex Platinum to families: f*** off!. Now it has been reported that Centurion Lounge access will be limited to 2 guests total, and there will be no alternate exception for immediate family members. Previously, the policy for Platinum and Centurion card holders was you were able to bring in 2 guests or your immediate family (spouse / domestic partner and children under 18). News broke yesterday about a change in the access policy for American Express Centurion lounges.
