    The wait is ridiculous. The company keeps raising the membership fee and focusing on maximizing new members rather than focus on customer experience and service. 30 minutes wait, we join the list and left 25 minutes after. At about the 29 minute the phone rings with a message stating we can come to the line. Not good. Very uncivilized.

    Came here on a Saturday around noon. No wait at all. Good service and good alcohol selection (2 bars). They cleared the tables pretty quickly. Location is right after security on the left in TBIT. only complaints would be the food options and awkward layout

    Not indicative of other American Express lounges. Very crowded, loud and short staffed. Small food choices. Full bar. Not a very helpful staff.

    Had a couple of hours to myself prior to my flight and stopped by to check out the lounge instead of sitting at the crowded gate. You have to walk towards the international terminal and then turn left where the Amex Lounge sign is when coming from the domestic terminal. Walk was not bad (like 12-14 minutes) for me and I used this as an opportunity to get my steps in. You take the elevator down to the lounge and upon entry, it does not seem large but they have several rooms. They have a bar with a few tables and then a bunch of other rooms for guests. I appreciate that they have a darkened room with loungers for guests to nap and have some quiet time before their travels. Staff were friendly and rooms were clean. Staff were constantly cleaning and wiping surfaces. I just found the layout a tad strange, as they have rooms scattered about and the rooms were mostly fully. Their pineapple agua fresca was good and not too sweet and their unsweetened iced tea was refreshing and good. They had the following items: Marinara penne pasta- just okay Chili verde chicken- okay Sautéed squash- enjoyed the texture and taste Cobb salad- fresh ingredients and good flavor Salad bar items- loved that you can make this your own Butternut squash soup- this was delicious! Loved the depth of flavors and perfect texture! Herbed potatoes- good rosemary flavor Cookies- did not try A cobbler item- did not try Brownie- delicious and cut into small bites

    This Centurion lounge is located right after security via the TSA Pre lines in the international terminal. Most seats here are for 1-2 people, with only a few areas for groups which are larger (though you could move some chairs around), which likely works well with the clientele which carries the Platnium or Delta card to get in. Guests who don't have a card are $50/each. And like other Centurion lounges, this one uses the same waiting registration system to get in when it is at capacity. The lounge itself is nice, with a layout which neither is too maze-like nor too open (so sounds from one area don't carry too far). Showers available upon request, Wi-Fi code is at the front desk, and there is a blue-lit relaxation room. For food and beverages, I spotted a full bar, hot bar and some soup/salad along with dessert options. I got lucky and they rolled out the ice cream cart while I was in the lounge and the rocky road + chocolate are both pretty great treats after a long day. Expect your average lounge food, in terms of quality. There's a lack of power outlets especially with the seats located away from walls in the lounge. Most seating has a table and even the smallest tables were fine for perching a laptop on them to get some emails written. Staff were friendly and empty cups and plates were quickly hurried away despite the full lounge. Would recommend if you have a card to get in as it's a nice perk, but maybe not quite worth $50/guest unless you're a lounge fan.

    The lounge opens at 6 am. Hot food is served at 6:30 am. Showers are available! Place your request with the concierge. WiFi is available. The password changes frequently.

    I have heard mixed things about the Amex lounge at LAX so I went in with low expectations. However, I am unsure why folks have an issue with this lounge because it blew me away. I have been to several Amex lounges across the country and many other lounges accessible through Priority Pass. The customer service at the LAX Centurion Lounge is unmatched. As soon as I finished a plate, someone came by to see if they could take it. Everyone I interacted with was kind, friendly, and beyond helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure I had an enjoyable experience. Also, the food was phenomenal. The food was Caribbean themed the day I was there - a chicken entree, Caribbean chicken and corn soup, roasted root vegetables, black eyed peas, and rice. All of it was delicious. I only regret not spending more time to enjoy more of the food. There was also a nice spread of desserts, including bread pudding, brownies, and cookies. There were more snack options sprinkled throughout the lounge, but I didn't have a chance to check them out. I didn't see a Centurion bar menu, which I've seen at other Centurion lounges, but there was a wide selection of beer, wine, and spirits. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at the lounge. It was definitely worth the 15 minute walk each way from my gate!

    Came to this lounge during current trip to Shanghai. It's definitely not a high class lounge, mediocre at best. Came during dinner time, and the food was pretty awful with few selections. It was also very crowded and hard to find seating. The furnitures were dated, see picture. Will avoid next time.

    This amex lounge is pretty good compared to the other ones ive been to. although it can get be a bit confusing to get here, it's not bad. The only downside is you have to get on waitlist to get inside this location. I dont know if it's because there are hella people here. The last time I was here, there weren't even people in line to get in. So I've learned my lesson and have always put myself on waitlist for ANY amex locations now anyways. I love this location because of the different amenities they have here. I was flying in from Vietnam and I had a 3.5 hour layover at LAX. They have shower options ANDD!!! a quiet room in the back. literal game changer after a long international flight. You request a shower at the front desk and they have someone unlock the door for you (they request that you try to stay within a 15-20 min shower). They have loccataine everything in there and provide you with a towel. they sanitize after every shower. a lot of other lounges that have a shower options ALWAYS has a fat wait time or is not available. I like that this one either has no to little wait time with all the times ive used it. the quiet room is in the back. I was feeling incredibly sick so it was nice that this room was dark and it had one person beds that you can lay on. I would say it was more like a long couch meant to fit one person if they laid down. there were about 7-8 beds in there and it was almost filled up around 8am. there were outlets near every bed so I was able to charge my phone Food and drink: there are two bars. one in the main big room which has high ceilings and lots of light. the other one is a bit smaller and leads to the other parts of the lounge with more seating. only got alcohol once and it was at the smaller bar. bartender is attentive. The morning offerings seemed very delectable (I didnt get a chance to try bc I was so sick and severely regret it). but they had scrambled eggs, French toast, avocado toast, breakfast sausage, sweet potato hash, croissants fruit and salad. they had a soup available but I dont remember what it was. they offered juice and cereal as well. The other times ive came it was closer to dinner time. I had a marinated chicken, watermelon feta salad, cauliflower and broccolini, rosemary fingerling potatoes, matzo ball soup. their mini brownie was so good as well -- I took 4 to go! lax may be a shit hole, but this lounge makes up for it

    Very nice buffet !

    Very Nice Experience! I have been a frequent visitor to airport VIP lounge facilities since the late 1970s. Over the years, I've been a member of: * Eastern * TWA * Delta * United * Alaska * Continental * American * Mera Our experience at the American Express Centurion Lounge at LAX was among the best. The facilities were spotless and inviting, and the staff were exceptionally attentive. The breakfast buffet was truly memorable: * Real scrambled eggs, served piping hot * Perfectly baked new potatoes * Flavorful link sausage My wife especially enjoyed a well-made mimosa, served by the friendly and engaging bar staff. The bathrooms were equally impressive--spotless and odor-free. My only recommendations: * Please consider offering Modelo beer. It's the number one beer in the world for a reason. * The muffins on the buffet did not quite meet Amex standards. * I was unable to connect to the WiFi, likely due to too many guests logged in. (This has been a recurring issue at this lounge.) Even though this lounge was a bit of a walk from my gate, I will absolutely continue to visit this very accommodating facility!

    pot roast and eggplant parm
    James A.

    Stopped into the Centurion Lounge because my wife and I didn't want to use one of our remaining Sky Club entries for 2025. Centurion is usually pretty strict about enforcing the 3 hour rule (only entry 3 hours before your flight time). But because it closes at 10pm, and our flight was at 11:45pm, we were able to get in without an issue at 8:15. They still require the physical AMEX card, boarding pass, along with picture ID. And it was quite crowded inside, with the lack of open space causing quite a bit of pedestrian gridlock in the common areas. It was our first chance to be there at last call. They had a gelato bar with fresh toppings, which closed at 9. Last call for the bar was 9:30, with the self-serve buffet for 9:45. One interesting of note is that they had two meat dishes, a decent yankee pot roast and a dijon chicken (along with the required vegetarian dish, which in this case was an OK eggplant parm). Both of the meat dishes were filling enough for us to use it as our late dinner, especially with a complementary glass of Street Cart cerveza from Golden Road Brewery. We left at 10, and found that gates in terminal 3 had thinned out quite nicely, allowing us plenty of space to wait comfortably.

    This is by far the worst lounge I have ever been to in a airport. It's super narrow and cramped. Seating is awkward and the food is almost inedible. I wouldn't even give this food to my dog. The layout/seating sucks and the people are unruly. The poor bartender are catering to vultures who acted like they never had a free drink in their life. I will not be returning to this atrocity of a lounge. Amex please do better. I stayed maybe 15 mins and that was 15 mins too long. If your going to fly out of LAX, I highly recommend the Delta lounge!

If you are arriving internationally, be prepared for a long walk, but then everything is a long walk at LAX.

This isn't the overpacked lounge with scroungy looking fruit and cups of yoplait. No, you order from a menu. I wish I'd had time to really peruse the menu - due to delays, our 3 hour layover was reduced to less than an hour. Because of time constraints, we both ordered a breakfast croissant. Perfectly scrambled eggs, thick crispy bacon, cheddar and avacado all nestled in a large, fresh croissant. Delicious. As it was breakfast time, a lovely display of morning baked goods, both sweet and savory, were displayed for your choosing. There are small bags if you are just running through. We tried a jam bar and a palmier - both were also delicious. Mimosas were freely flowing and the bar was open. Cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites and even plain old regular black coffee is available. Just ask. There is an outdoor seating area that I would have loved to have had time to sit and enjoy. You have to check out the bathrooms - my husband was oddly excited about the individual stalls. I'm now sitting in a Sky Club in Atlanta. I'd normally be happy as could be, but now it's a bit of a let down. It's time to just shake off the fairyland of flying Delta One and come back to my Southwest Airlines basic fare lifestyle. I'm just going to sit here and stay on my private little isle a few minutes longer ...

In one word: disappointed. THE FOOD: While there were more options than a typical lounge, quantity didn't make up for quality. The food simply didn't compare to the Centurion Lounge in taste or execution. Even more surprising, several items ran out and sat empty for a while before staff noticed or replenished them. THE SERVICE: This was a mixed bag. On the positive side, when I asked about a specific item being restocked, the manager personally brought out a fresh plate of my favorite dish, which was appreciated. That said, the overall attentiveness felt inconsistent (see below). THE AMBIANCE: It's definitely more private and feels a bit more "exclusive"... but not necessarily more comfortable. The main seating area was extremely warm. When I asked about it, I was told it was due to the sun pouring in through the large windows. Unfortunately, that didn't make the experience any less uncomfortable--I was genuinely miserable trying to relax before my flight. Bottom line: For the premium price, I expected a noticeably elevated experience across the board. Instead, it felt like a modest upgrade in space, but a downgrade in comfort and food quality. Not worth the hype or the cost.
