- Effective October 1, American Express Platinum and Centurion Card holders can no longer use the VIP lounges operated by Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian Airlines, ending a benefit that had been available for passengers on Lufthansa Group flights.
- The change terminates lounge access that was scheduled to run through September 30, 2026, and removes these cardholders from the Global Lounge Collection, which includes more than 1,550 lounges at over 500 airports worldwide.
Why it matters
