Overview
- American Express, which announced the plans Wednesday, set 2027 openings for a Sidecar at Charlotte Douglas and an expansion at Dallas–Fort Worth, with a new two-story Centurion Lounge at Boston Logan targeted for 2029.
- Boston’s Terminal C lounge is slated to span about 20,000 square feet across two levels and include an outdoor terrace, with the timeline pushed two years later than earlier expectations.
- Charlotte’s Sidecar, the second after Las Vegas, will sit in Concourse A and offer QR-code ordering to your seat with entry limited to 90 minutes before departure for faster, short-stay visits.
- At DFW’s Terminal D near Gate D12, the 2027 revamp adds more seating, a new dining area, a second full-service bar and a walk-up ice cream window, with outlets describing the size increase as either nearly double or nearly 50% larger.
- Access remains limited to eligible AmEx cardholders, with traditional Centurion Lounges enforcing a three-hour pre-departure window as Sidecar narrows visits to 90 minutes, a shift meant to reduce lines and make seats easier to find.
