American Express is expanding its airport lounge network with a new Centurion Lounge planned for Boston, a second Sidecar concept coming to Charlotte, and a major expansion of its existing space at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

The moves highlight how the credit card and financial services company is investing in both larger flagship lounges and smaller spaces designed for travelers with limited time before boarding.

“American Express has long been at the forefront of the airport lounge experience, and we continue to build on that legacy and raise the bar as we grow our network,” Audrey Hendley, president of American Express Travel, said in a press release announcing the updates.

Bigger lounges in key airports

One of the biggest additions is a new Centurion Lounge at Boston Logan International Airport, expected to open in 2029. The two-story space will be one of the largest in the network and will include an outdoor terrace with views of the airfield.

The design will reflect Boston’s identity, with elements inspired by its coastal setting, green spaces, and academic history. The lounge will include workstations, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a full food and beverage program.

At Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, American Express is expanding one of its earliest Centurion Lounge locations. The updated space will be nearly 50% larger, with more seating, a new dining area, a second full-service bar, and a walk-up ice cream window for travelers looking for something quick before boarding.

At the same time, American Express is also going smaller.
