AMEX Centurion Lounge Houston IAH Now Open

The AMEX Centurion Lounge Houston, IAH is now open in Terminal D, near Gate D6. The great thing about Houston, unlike, say, the AMEX Cenurion Lounge San Francisco, is that after clearing security for Terminal D and enjoyiing the Centurion Lounge, you can access other airport terminals airside without having to reclear security by using either the Subway train or SKYWAY, which connect all the terminals airside.
