The Centurion Lounge is officially on hiatus, and the cause? A rather mysterious &#8220;plumbing issue.&#8221; The initial rumors suggest &#8220;at least three days&#8221; of downtime, but for those familiar with MIA&#8217;s track record (see also: <a href=\"http:\/\/100.30.205.157\/2023\/09\/indefinite-closure-of-mias-skytrain-leaves-passengers-with-a-long-hike-ahead\/\" title=\"Indefinite Closure of MIA\u2019s SkyTrain Leaves Passengers with a Long Hike Ahead\">indefinite closure of the SkyTrain<\/a>), getting that lounge back in action in just 72 hours seems <em>incredibly<\/em> optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A post surfaced in a private Facebook group showcasing AmEx-branded &#8220;happy meal&#8221; style boxes of to-go food being handed out to cardmembers. We&#8217;d share that photo here, but the initial uploader of this discovery hasn&#8217;t yet responded to our request to use their photo. Curious minds might wonder: does AmEx have a secret stash of these kits ready for deployment in case of unforeseen lounge disruptions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we await more information and clarity on the mysterious &#8220;plumbing issue,&#8221; we invite those on the ground at MIA to keep us in the loop.
