Great news for Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders flying through Salt Lake City! American Express just announced they're building a brand-new, almost 16,000-square-foot Centurion Lounge in the new Concourse B of SLC International Airport, slated to open in 2025. This isn't just your average airport waiting area; think of it as a pre-flight oasis.
The new lounge will feature an outdoor terrace with mountain views, a full bar with fancy cocktails crafted by a pro mixologist, and a coffee bar serving up specialty drinks. Plus, they're bringing in an award-winning chef to create a menu featuring fresh, local ingredients, with hot breakfasts, rotating main courses, salads, soups, and desserts. With comfortable seating for all types of travelers you'll be unwinding in style before your next flight.
Why does this matter? If you're an Amex cardholder, this upgrade makes flying through Salt Lake City significantly more enjoyable. Instead of crowded gate areas and overpriced airport food, you'll have access to a premium lounge experience, making those layovers or early morning flights way more bearable. Think of it as a free upgrade to your travel day!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
