I have the Amex platinum and have been flying delta a lot lately. Experience-wise the Delta Sky club has been better than the centurion lounge lately. I’m also a bit bothered by centurion lounge forthcoming rule of a $75k spend to have a guest accompany you. How do y’all plan to navigate?

Perhaps I’m in the minority here, but I’m absolutely thrilled that guests are being restricted. Overcrowding of the centurion lounges has been a issue for a few years now, and I’m pretty happy that I won’t have to encounter entire families when I’m trying to relax before a flight.

I understand that perspective. But that’s one of the perks I liked. I will likely add the authorized user too so it won’t be an issue

The only guest I care about bringing into the lounge is my SO, so we just have her as an authorized user on my Platinum. $175/year also gives her her own lounge access for when she travels on her own. Worth it for us, no question.

Are guests free into the Delta lounge then for plat card holders? The authorized user access is for Centurion only or that and Delta lounge?

No. 2 separate thoughts. Observation on the quality of both.
Authorized user for centurion lounge access.
