Lounge lizard here. You best bet I'm getting there 3 or 4 hours early so I can drink prosecco, eat chicken thighs (it's always chicken thighs), and play my steam deck. Maybe have a dessert and a coffee. Make sure all of my electronics are charged full and my bowels are empty.
Also depends on the airport. I have been in some pretty small old lounges before, but the other option is sitting around in a hotel room for a couple hours? I suppose I could putz around the city I am in with my luggage for a bit but that doesn't seem like much fun either. But that's only a concern on the flight home. The flight out is going to be LGA every time it can be and I am going to maximize my time in the Centurion Lounge.
