Escape Lounges have been popping up quickly across the United States, the United Kingdom, and soon a location in Australia. Many of these partner with American Express and are known as Escape Lounges – The Centurion® Studio Partners.
Escape Lounges have partnered with American Express to run 13 lounges across 13 airports in the United States (three are not affiliated with American Express and can only be accessed by paying to enter). There are five more scheduled to open soon.
Access
Access to the Escape Lounges – The Centurion® Studio Partner is given to customers carrying The Platinum Card® from American Express, The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, and The Centurion® Card. These cardholders are entitled to bring two guests. Those with the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card or the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card are granted free entry (when traveling on a Delta flight), but must pay $30 for each guest.
