Good point. Just double check that there is an AMEX lounge at the airports you’ll be going thru or that your airline’s lounge accepts AMEX.



Glad you mentioned it

Looks like only Skyclub is the only remaining access that you get automatically. As I understand it, you get a certain credit for amounts spent on AA or US Air lounges but it's not like Delta's access. Looks like that changed a few years ago, I just didn't notice because I'm Delta anyway.

AMEX platinum also gives you priority pass access and Centurion lounges but their are obviously less of them.

I travel heavily for work every two weeks. I have been burned by Delta, American and United so many times that I drive to New Orleans to fly southwest. New Orleans with all airlines has more flight options. So, a one hour drive is better than an over night delay.
1. Southwest has the best rewards program out of all so that’s what I fly. Companion pass is gold! Great App. All receipts on app
2. Hertz Platinum club is worth the $100.00 annual fee! Get off plane, walk to cars, see your name on the board and what assigned spot is, get in car and leave!!!! No counter people. Great app. All receipts kept on app
3. Marriott Rewards Card. Get the card! Every dollar spent at Marriott gets you 5 points. Sign on bonus gets you 50,000 points. You will be over 150,000 points before you know it. Great rewards program. A one night stay at Ritz Carlton is 50,000 points. We stayed at the Ritz for a week. Only cost me incidentals. Was legit

Fly out of New Orleans
