– RewardsCanada.ca
On the latest Rewards Canada family vacation we got to check out the new American Express Centurion and Escape Lounges in Phoenix. The lounges are located in Terminal 4 of Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport and are very new – they just opened up during the second week of January. For most Canadian’s this means if you are flying WestJet you will be able to use the lounges if you have The Platinum Card from American Express or the Centurion Card. The Escape Lounge also has pay per use access should you not have either card. Unfortunately Air Canada changed terminals early in February so if you are flying AC you won’t be able to access the lounge without changing terminals and going through security multiple times.Lounge locationFor our trip the location of the lounges was perfect – right next to B23 which is where our WestJet flight back to YYC was departing from. We were flying home on President’s Day which meant the airport was insane with lots of people flying home from the long weekend but with TSA Pre-Check we cleared security in under 5 minutes…How to score 700 WestJet dollars for only $240
