Did I miss the announcement where Amex raised the price of Platinum (ostensibly to fund building out more Centurion lounges) and then restricted the use of said lounges to departing passengers only?🤬

It always amazes me that there are people who will intentionally stay at the airport longer just to access a lounge...

Arrivals lounges are usually associated with INTERNATIONAL arrivals; you know, when you might actually require arrival amenities such as a shower or a quick bite.

So no, I am not aware of any domestic arrivals lounges most likely due to the lack of a legitimate need for such investment and facilities

Why would you go to the lounge if you aren't a departing passenger?

1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.
