An exciting new club is coming down the pike for Centurion Lounge fans—American Express just announced it will bring the first of its popular lounges to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
American Express currently operates 13 Centurion Lounges in the United States, two of which are in New York at LaGuardia Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport. Newark is the only major airport in the New York area without a Centurion Lounge.
The 17,000-square-foot lounge, which will be the largest one in the network, is slated to open in 2026 and will feature unique offerings such as an indoor terrace overlooking the airfield with the Manhattan skyline in the background, as well as a jazz bar and piano lounge.
“Jazz has played a role in New Jersey’s cultural landscape for decades, making the state a vibrant home for jazz enthusiasts past and present,” American Express said in a statement. “To celebrate that history, guests will enjoy a cocktail bar inspired by the 20th Century jazz era in New Jersey and a piano lounge featuring live music.”
The space will also include amenities that cardholders have come to expect in Centurion Lounges: locally inspired food and drink offerings, shower suites, dedicated workstations, several seating sections, high-speed Wi-Fi, and areas dedicated to families with small children.
The new lounge will open in Newark’s brand-new Terminal A, which opened in January 2023. There are currently three airline-branded lounges in Terminal A: an American Admirals Club, a Delta Sky Club, and a United Club.
While the Newark lounge is still a little ways off, Centurion will be opening an outpost at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., later this year and another lounge at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in 2024. Most recently, American Express reopened renovated lounges in Seattle in 2023 and in San Francisco in 2022.
To access this lounge once it opens, in addition to the 40-plus locations in the American Express Global Lounge Collection, you’ll need to have an Amex card with lounge access. That includes the Platinum Card from American Express, the Business Platinum Card from American Express, the Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card, and the Delta SkyMiles Reserve Business American Express Card. Corporate Platinum Card members and Centurion members can also access the Centurion lounge network.

When it comes to flying in business class, no one does it quite like Air France. Known for their Francophile food options—which begin from the moment you step into their lounges, stocked with petite macarons, croque madames, and classic French cocktails, such as the Kir Royal—amenity kits with products from French brand Clarins, and impeccable service, a flight with the airline is like getting a little slice of la vie française. Although already an excellent experience, this past summer, the airline began rolling out updated business-class cabins, starting with flights from Paris to New York City. But things just got even better: This month, Air France is offering travelers the chance to win a pair of free tickets to experience their business-class offering for themselves.

As the summer travel season comes to a close, one airline is giving travelers a reason to start planning next summer's vacation. Delta Air Lines announced it will be operating its largest trans-Atlantic flight schedule ever, debuting just in time for summer 2024. The airline will be adding new destinations including Naples and bringing back service to Shannon, Ireland. According to Delta, next summer it will operate 260 weekly flights to 18 countries in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). This includes a new flight from JFK to Munich three times a week that will start on April 9, 2024, and a daily nonstop flight to Shannon, Ireland that will begin on May 23, 2024. The carrier will expand its existing service to Italy — it already flies to Milan, Venice, and Rome — with a new daily service to Naples. It will also resume service between Atlanta and Zurich, Switzerland, four times a week, which had originally been cut in 2019.
