Yes, in most cases, you can leave and re-enter an airport lounge on the same day, provided you still have a valid boarding pass and your lounge membership credentials. This is common for passengers who want to walk around the terminal, do some duty-free shopping, or check on a flight gate change. When you first enter, the front desk agent will scan your pass; when you wish to leave temporarily, it is best to inform the agent so they can note your departure or provide a re-entry pass. However, be aware that access is always "subject to capacity." If a lounge becomes extremely crowded while you are gone, you could potentially be denied re-entry until space opens up. For premium lounges like the Amex Centurion Lounge, you must typically be within 3 hours of your departure flight to enter initially, and re-entry is permitted as long as you still fall within that 3-hour window and have your ID and card ready.
