Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Cardmembers can access discounts on select domestic economy fares with limited participating airlines. The Platinum Member Airfares portal offers savings on international fares in premium economy, business, and first class. Lufthansa lounge access will end on October 1, but Priority Pass members may still access participating lounges. The Centurion Card from American Express will no longer offer access to Lufthansa First Class Lounges. The carefully planned escape requires careful planning.
