KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 -- American Express recently announced plans to expand two of its signature Centurion Lounges at New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport (LAS).

The Centurion Lounge at LGA will relocate to a larger location in the brand new Terminal B, and as previously announced, the current Centurion Lounge at LAS will be expanded and redesigned.

According to a statement, renovations at both lounges will be completed next year and feature a suite of amenities for Card Members to enjoy when they resume travelling.

In the same statement, the globally integrated payments company also introduced The Centurion Lounge Commitment, a set of new health and safety protocols and practices - to be implemented in all Centurion Lounges as they reopen.

Card Members will experience new health and safety practices such as socially distanced seating, reduced capacity, increased cleaning frequency, requirements to wear a face covering when entering the lounge, served food instead of buffets.

For a contactless check-in experience, Card Members can download the American Express® App and use the Mobile Check-in Feature.

These practices will be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis to take into account Card Members’ needs and the requirements of state and local governments and health authorities.

American Express is also working towards opening its newest lounge locations later this year in New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, London’s Heathrow Airport and Denver International Airport.
