Monterrey Mariano Escobedo Lounges MTY: every lounge and how to get in
Monterrey carries an unusually deep lounge bench for its size, including two Amex Centurion lounges. The catch is that the terminals do not connect airside, so the right lounge is the one in your departure terminal. Here is the full map.
- Lounge verdict
- Strong for an airport this size. Two Amex Centurion lounges, a Priority Pass option, plus bank and airline rooms give good coverage across Terminals A and B. Terminal C, the Viva building, has no lounge at all, so a Viva itinerary means planning around the seating instead.
- Best access play
- Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders are spoiled, with Centurion lounges in both A and B. Everyone else should aim for the OMA Premium Lounge in Terminal B near gate 12, which takes Priority Pass and sells walk up entry.
- The one thing to know
- The terminals are not linked airside, so a lounge is only reachable from inside its own terminal. Pick the lounge in the building you fly from, because switching terminals is a landside trip with a fresh security check.
Orientation
How the Monterrey lounge map works
The terminal decides everything at MTY. Terminal A and Terminal B both hold lounges, but the two buildings are not connected airside, so you can only use a lounge inside the terminal you depart from. Terminal C, the Viva building, has no lounge, which is worth knowing before you book a long Viva connection.
Terminal A is the original and largest building and holds an Amex Centurion Lounge near gate 4 plus the Salon Beyond Banamex for bank cardholders. Terminal B is the Aeromexico and Delta side and carries the most variety: the second Centurion Lounge, the OMA Premium Lounge that takes Priority Pass, the Aeromexico Salon Premier, and the Terraza Premier by Heineken. Hours and walk up prices shift, so treat the figures below as verify at booking.
The lounges
Every MTY lounge by terminal
| Lounge | Terminal and location | Access | Walk up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amex Centurion Lounge (Terminal A) | Terminal A, near the boarding gates around gate 4, open 5:00 to 22:00 | Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders with eligible card and same day boarding pass | Not sold | The premium room on the non SkyTeam side |
| Amex Centurion Lounge (Terminal B) | Terminal B, mezzanine beside the food court, open 5:00 to 22:00 | Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders with eligible card and same day boarding pass | Not sold | The best lounge in the busiest terminal, if you hold the card |
| OMA Premium Lounge | Terminal B, airside near gate 12, open 5:00 to 21:30 | Priority Pass, DragonPass, pay in; about a 3 hour stay limit | From about 600 pesos, roughly 29 US dollars, to be confirmed | The one open door at MTY without an Amex card |
| Salon Beyond Banamex | Terminal A, between gates 4 and 7 | Eligible Banamex cardholders and some lounge program members | Not generally sold | Useful only if you hold the right bank card |
| Aeromexico Salon Premier | Terminal B, by the upper level boarding gates | Aeromexico and SkyTeam premium cabin and SkyTeam Elite Plus | Not sold | The SkyTeam status and Business room |
| Terraza Premier Aeromexico by Heineken | Terminal B | Aeromexico premium access methods it still honors | Not sold | Left the Priority Pass program on 6 April 2026, so do not plan around the card here |
Two things to take from the table. The OMA Premium Lounge in Terminal B is the only reliable door for travelers without an Amex Platinum or Centurion card or an airline status, and it can fill during the morning and evening banks, so walk over early. And the Terraza Premier by Heineken left Priority Pass on 6 April 2026, so a card that worked there before no longer opens that door.

What actually opens these doors
American Express Platinum and Centurion cardholders have the run of MTY, with Centurion lounges in both Terminal A and Terminal B, each open 5:00 to 22:00. You need an eligible card and a same day boarding pass, and guest rules follow the standard Centurion policy.
Priority Pass covers one door, the OMA Premium Lounge in Terminal B near gate 12, which also takes DragonPass and sells walk up entry from around 600 pesos, with the exact current price to be confirmed and a stay limit of about 3 hours. It is the practical choice for anyone without an Amex card or airline status.
Bank cards and airline status cover the rest. The Salon Beyond Banamex in Terminal A is for eligible Banamex cardholders, the Aeromexico Salon Premier is for SkyTeam premium cabin and Elite Plus travelers, and the Terraza Premier by Heineken runs on Aeromexico access methods after leaving Priority Pass. Because the terminals do not connect airside, the most useful rule is simple: choose the lounge in your departure terminal, and confirm the hours on the day.

FAQ
Monterrey lounge questions
Which MTY lounges take Priority Pass?
One, the OMA Premium Lounge in Terminal B next to gate 12, which also takes DragonPass and sells walk up entry. It has a stay limit of about 3 hours. The Terraza Premier Aeromexico by Heineken in Terminal B left the Priority Pass program on 6 April 2026, so do not count on the card there anymore.
Can I pay to get into a Monterrey lounge without status?
Yes, at the OMA Premium Lounge in Terminal B, which sells walk up entry from around 600 pesos, roughly 29 US dollars, subject to space. Treat the price as verify at booking. The two Amex Centurion lounges do not sell day passes and need an eligible Amex card.
Is there an Amex Centurion lounge at Monterrey?
Yes, two of them, one in Terminal A near gate 4 and one in Terminal B on the mezzanine beside the food court, both open 5:00 to 22:00. Each needs an eligible Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a same day boarding pass, and the two are unusually generous coverage for an airport this size.
Are there lounges in Terminal C at MTY?
No. Terminal C is the Viva building and has no lounge. If you have a long wait on a Viva itinerary, the honest play is to use the seating in Terminal C or ride the landside shuttle to Terminal A or B and clear security again, then return with time to spare.
Which lounge is best at MTY?
With an eligible Amex card, the Centurion Lounge in your departure terminal is the clear pick. Without one, the OMA Premium Lounge in Terminal B near gate 12 is the dependable Priority Pass or pay in choice. Pick the lounge in the terminal you fly from, since the buildings are not linked airside.
Do the Monterrey lounges connect across terminals?
No. Terminals A, B and C are separate buildings with no airside link, so a lounge is only reachable from inside its own terminal. Switching terminals means leaving landside, riding the free shuttle, and clearing security again, so plan around the terminal your onward flight departs from.
