I was fortunate in that I arrived at the lounge at a point in the day when few travelers were around, but by the time I left at around 17:20, a line of people was waiting to access the lounge. Right now the lounge is open between 07:00 and 18:00 but there are hopes that the lounge will be allowed to stay open to 19:00 from next week and possibly even 20:00 the week after next.Ī key thing to note is that during busier times, the SFO Centurion Lounge is currently operating a one in, one out policy to ensure that it doesn’t breach social distancing regulations. Most Amex Centurion lounges are operating limited hours right now and the lounge at SFO is no exception. The F-Gate concourse is dominated by United Airlines (as is the nearby E-Gate concourse) and although under normal conditions it’s usually possible to use the lounge without needing to re-clear security if you’re flying from the International Terminal, the checkpoint between the F and G gates was very firmly closed during my visit. The Amex Centurion Lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is located opposite Gate F2 in Terminal 3. For more details please see the disclosures found at the bottom of every page.Īmerican Express is now operating all but two of its domestic lounges so on a recent layover in San Francisco, I dropped into the Amex Centurion Lounge at SFO to take a look at how things are shaping up in the current environment and to see what Amex is offering travelers fortunate enough to have access.

If you're arriving internationally, again, you'd need a same-day SFO departing boarding pass to clear security.Some links to products and travel providers on this website will earn Traveling For Miles a commission that helps contribute to the running of the site. If you're arriving in one of the other concourses, then security at SFO won't let you clear into E, F, or G without a boarding pass departing SFO that day. If you're arriving in the aforementioned concourses E, F, or G, then yes, but only if you have a connecting flight. However, with a PreCheck security lane right next to the entrance to the lounge, it can be quite easy to clear security twice if necessary.Ī: It depends. Some other concourses are connected to each other airside, but not to the point that you can walk airside to the Centurion. At the moment, Terminal 3 concourses E and F, and International Terminal concourse G are connected airside to the Centurion lounge. Security at SFO will let passengers departing from any concourse at SFO go through security in any concourse, even ones that aren't connected behind security.
Q: Can I visit there if I'm departing from another terminal?Ī: Absolutely.
A: Terminal 3, F concourse, right by Gate F2 (formerly gate 75) and the F-1 security checkpoint (that has PreCheck, sometimes).
