Man these lounges look so exclusive to me, who doesn't fly that often. I would definitely like to check one out in person at least once in my lifetime.
looks nice, but less fancy than i was expecting. sort of the equivalent of a ‘four star business hotel’ like an omni. even down to those rectangular buffet plates.
I would say the Polaris Lounge is more exclusive. You need a long haul international business/first ticket to get in, but Centurion lounge only requires the Platinum Card.
Good video. I'm gonna go with the other commenters. I would argue the United Polaris lounge is more exclusive since it's business or better only. Or technically Emirates since that's exclusive to all other airlines and alliances.
I was here last weekend; Polaris was still closed (I arrived from a transpacific flight, so I decided to try the Centurion while waiting for my connecting flight). The food was horrible, and the avocado toast was disgusting. Drinks and coffee are okay; they serve powder-based scrambled eggs. I was shocked! 😂
You really don’t understand the product at all. The BLACK Card (Centurion) gets you access to a lot more than that one little waiting area. That is just the staging area. There is a whole private area for Centurion members. You never saw it. Also how can it be the most exclusive club and yet have capacity controls at time……
I can say that I have...walked past it before.😁 No one takes Amex cards. OK the Western Hotel brands do, and maybe fancy restaurants. Lounges are just calories I don't need and one of the main reasons I keep coming back from trips heavier than when I left!🐷
@@YellowProductions It's so crazy to me given USA leads the world in so many other spaces and decent lounges can bring in business travellers too. Although I think I read somewhere that a lot of more affluent people in the US fly private instead so that could also partially explain it.
Not exclusive enough. Overcrowded, loud, and messy (too many people for the staff to keep up with). It's not relaxing or fun at all. It's quieter and more relaxing out in the concourse.
That "exclusive" section for Centurion card members doesn't look exclusive to me. It looks like the rest of the lounge, but with nobody sitting in it. Even if I had one of those $10K + $5K cards, I don't even think I would sit there. Everyone else in the lounge would know you're some ultra-rich dude (or someone who just wastes their money on such cards) just by walking by and seeing who's in that part. Anyway, my no fee American Express Cards offers no lounge access. That's OK. Eating at the Burger Joint is OK with me.
