Amex access here just sends you to VIP Flyers Club
Near Gate 1 in the North Terminal, “Amex Centurion Lounge” at POS actually means access to the shared V.I.P. Flyers’ Club, the same contract lounge used by Priority Pass and airline invitations. There is no separate Centurion-branded space here, just a single lounge used by multiple programs.
The lounge sits airside in the Main/North Terminal, a short walk from Gate 1, and runs roughly 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. That schedule matches most afternoon and evening departures from Piarco, but early-morning flyers before 10:00 won’t find it open.
American Express lists this as the only option for Platinum and Centurion cardholders at POS and sets a maximum stay of 3 hours. Standard Amex lounge rules apply on guests, mirroring the VIP Flyers Club listing rather than the more generous entry rules you might know from larger Centurion locations.
Inside, think basic contract-lounge setup instead of a flagship build: soft chairs, a small buffet, self-serve drinks, and power outlets along a few walls. Reviews from 2019 mention simple hot snacks and sandwiches with coffee, tea, and standard soft drinks; expect something similar today, not a full restaurant or premium-bar scene.
Regulars with Amex Platinum in Trinidad simply treat this as the VIP Flyers Club and don’t wait for any Centurion-only perks. You’re getting the same seating, food, and Wi‑Fi as Priority Pass members and airline-invited passengers, just with your Amex card as the key instead of a separate lounge card.
Watch the clock: staff are strict about that 3‑hour maximum stay, especially when flights bunch up in the evening bank. If your flight leaves close to 8:00 PM, they may start winding down food and clearing dishes a bit before closing time, so grab what you want earlier in your visit.
Tip: Build your buffer so you’re checked in, through security, and inside the lounge no later than 6:30 PM; that gives you a realistic two hours of Wi‑Fi and snacks before the 8:00 PM closing and avoids getting turned away on a short connection.
