![]() Speaking of the waiter, the service in this lounge was simply outstanding. Thankfully, I was carrying cash this trip and handed the waiter a nice tip.Īmerican Express Centurion Lounge Mexico City Service ![]() I believe this is to encourage tipping, but there was no way to leave tip on the car. When it came time to leave, I was presented with the following $0 bill: Oddly, you can order as many pizzas or soups as you want, but nothing off the other menu for free…īoth the soup and the pizza hit the spot. Turns out I could not just choose what I wanted on the menu, but was offered an additional special menu for platinum cardholders:ĭuring my stay I enjoyed several waters, a cappuccino, a bowl of chicken soup, and a pizza. That’s really not bad pricing considering this is an airport.īut when I entered the lounge I was given this small, laminated plastic card (on the basis of holding a platinum card) and told to use it for “free food”: They’ll also present you with the following menu. Waiters and waitresses roam the lounge and bring you the drinks of your choice. There is no buffet: just a bar and dining area. Unlike the Centurion Lounges in the USA, food is not complimentary. You can find the lounge by heading to the upper level of the main departures hall via stairs or elevator:Īmerican Express Centurion Lounge Mexico City Dining lounges, but I had heard the ones in Mexico City were different. The Centurion Lounge in Buenos Aires was similar to U.S. I visited the Terminal 2 location during my recent extended layover in Mexico City, not really knowing what to expect. It also does not include bottled water from flight services on aircrafts.I spent five hours in the The American Express Centurion Lounge in Mexico City and wished I had stayed longer. Currently, the ban does not include other bottled drinks outside of water (though that may be coming). This ban includes events happening at the airport as well as vending machines. LAX has recently announced a ban on the sale of single-use water bottles, effective immediately. So I don’t personally have a problem with this, though it would be a requirement for me that there actually BE sufficient water fountains and water bottle filling stations throughout the airport, something I’m not quite sure is the case at LAX. (SEE ALSO: Do You Really NEED To Eat And Drink In The Airport?) Either I am bringing my own water bottle, or I’m drinking out of the water fountains. Personally, I almost never buy or drink from single-use water bottles. Perhaps that is something that is coming down the road – that’s what SFO did a few years ago – first banned the single-use water bottles and then followed that up with bans on other drinks a few years later. Many people were also wondering why you would ban water bottles but not other single-use bottles and cans such as soft drinks or Gatorade. Employees don’t want to pay for over-priced water either Bottle fillers were installed pre-security. There is one bottle filler in the food court and it’s not filtered or cold.

The explanation from the airport authority were that there are plenty of water bottle filling stations throughout the airport, though that is a disputed fact by anyone who is ever actually FLOWN through LAX. ![]() LAX falls under the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) commission, and LAWA has a sustainability initiative, including the goal to make its airports entirely zero-waste by 2045. The ban on the sale of single-use water bottles is, as you might have guessed, part of a sustainability initiative. Why Is LAX Banning Single-Use Water Bottles LAX (as far as I could tell) now becomes the 2nd major airport to ban the sale of single-use water bottles, after SFO, which banned the sale of single-use plastic water bottles in 2019 and included other types of beverages as of 2021. I only saw the announcement a couple of weeks ago but apparently (As of the JFacebook post above), it went into effect at the end of June, so it is already in place as of the writing of this post. ![]()
