American Express Centurion Lounge is best understood as a card-issued network — the lounge is essentially a benefit of holding the right credit card, and you cannot purchase a walk-up day pass to enter.
Insider tip: the value of American Express Centurion Lounge for any individual traveler depends on how often you fly, which airports you fly through, and which guests typically join you. Run the math at least once a year — the program with the lowest sticker price is rarely the one that delivers the best per-visit value once guest fees are factored in.
