- Update on the Denver American Express Centurion lounge, opening February 1:
Amex is opening their Denver Centurion Lounge on Feb 1st. There will be two bars with one of them being their “normal” bar and the second one being a craft beer bar with limited hard alcohol options. They will have a cooked to order pasta option in addition to their normal food. According to Odd13, they will be serving their beer at the lounge at least when they open. I strongly recommend Odd13’s IPAs if they have one ontap.

- United Airlines told employees they plan to re-furlough most of the employees they furloughed October 1 but who have been receiving pay because of airline bailout round 2.
