A brand-new Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club has arrived at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). This Texas-inspired, split-level lounge spans 18,000 square feet and is one of the coolest and most functional spaces in the issuer's growing lounge network.

Ahead of its official opening on July 16, 2026, AwardWallet got a sneak peek inside the new lounge.

Here's your first look at the space, along with what you need to know about accessing it yourself.

Where the Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW Is Located

The Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW is located post-security in Terminal D near Gate D25 — and right beside the Johnston & Murphy.

In this corner of the terminal, you'll find a handful of shops and restaurants, as well as The Club DFW. But you won't miss the Sapphire Lounge's branded entrance.

For travelers accessing the lounge from other terminals, the Skylink connects all five terminals and makes two stops in Terminal D. The stop serving Gates D23-D40 is the closest to the lounge.

Skylink operates 24 hours a day, runs in both directions, and arrives every two minutes. This puts the lounge within easy reach regardless of which terminal your flight departs from.

The Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW is open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., beginning July 16, 2026.

What There Is to Do at the Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW

The Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW isn't just a place to sit and relax. While you can certainly kick back, the lounge offers plenty to do while you wait for your flight.

Explore Texas-inspired spaces

You're in Texas, after all, so you might as well take some time to explore the Texas-inspired design throughout the Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW.

Throughout the lounge, Chase incorporated design elements that reflect North Texas, including leather accents, natural materials, and subtle nods to the Dallas sports scene.

Personally, I'm a fan of the lounge's theme. It makes the space feel like an extension of the city you're flying through, even if you never leave the airport.

The lounge's centerpiece is a bar outfitted with a glowing tiered brass canopy and a stone countertop with convenient built-in device charging capabilities. It serves as both a gathering place for travelers and one of the lounge's most distinctive design features. More about what's on the menu below.

Guests will also find original artwork throughout the lounge, including two murals by Dallas artist Kyle Bunting. It's one more local touch that helps distinguish the space from a typical airport lounge.

Relax and recharge

Newer Chase Sapphire Lounges have leaned into health and wellness, and that trend continues at the Dallas Fort Worth lounge.

At the DFW Sapphire Lounge, travelers can access Peloton stretches and meditations created exclusively for the lounge on their phones or tablets. (Heads up: This feature is expected to roll out across the Sapphire Lounge network.) It's a nice way to unwind after a flight or mentally prepare for the next one.

Visitors can also relax and recharge by reserving a rest pod or putting themselves on the list for a Face Haus facial.

The lounge also offers two shower suites, which, in my opinion, are one of the most valuable amenities an airport lounge can have.

Family-friendly amenities

Travelers with young kids in tow can also take advantage of the family-friendly amenities at the Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW. The lounge offers dedicated family spaces, including a family room and private nursing rooms.

Not every airport or lounge makes it easy to travel with kids without feeling out of place, so this is a thoughtful addition.

What's on the Menu at the Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW

If you're in search of good food and a beverage worth drinking, the Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW has plenty to offer on both fronts.

A menu from Encina

The food menu was created in partnership with Encina — a popular restaurant in Dallas' Bishop Arts District.

Travelers can expect Texas-rooted flavors with a modern American influence, including blue corn butterscotch pancakes in the morning and slab bacon with cheddar grits later in the day. At any given moment, you'll have a lot to choose from.

Coffee and non-alcoholic beverages

Great airport lounges don't skimp on the coffee, and that's true here, too. The coffee comes from Cherry Coffee, a women-owned roaster based in Fort Worth's Near Southside neighborhood.

Cocktails, wine, and local beer

Behind the bar, guests will find a curated wine list from familiar partner Parcelle, alongside signature cocktails and regional favorites.

The beverage program also highlights local spirits and beers from breweries across Texas, meaning many of the drinks you'll find here aren't available at other Sapphire Lounges.

A first-of-its-kind whiskey experience

At the DFW lounge, Chase also draws a lot of attention to a dedicated whiskey lounge offering guided whiskey pairings, a featured cocktail, and a selection of Texas whiskeys.

Guests will also be able to sample a custom barrel selection created exclusively for the Dallas Fort Worth lounge.

For some, that may be worth a pass through DFW on its own.

What's Next for Chase Sapphire Lounge Network

If you're a fan of Chase Sapphire Lounges, there's more to look forward to. The Dallas Fort Worth lounge won't be the last, as Chase has two additional lounges in the pipeline, with one officially confirmed and another all but expected.

The next confirmed location is at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), where Chase says the lounge is expected to open “within the next year.” The Hollywood-inspired space will span roughly 9,200 square feet and will be located on the concourse level of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT).

Looking further ahead, travelers will likely see a Chase Sapphire Lounge at Miami International Airport (MIA). While Chase hasn't officially confirmed the project, the issuer recently won the bid to develop a roughly 14,000-square-foot lounge in Concourse E. Although the project appears to be moving forward, it's anyone's guess when construction will be complete and the lounge will officially open.

And it's possible there could be more on the way. When unveiling the lounge at DFW, Chase said that “the Dallas-Fort Worth area continues to grow year over year as a top destination for Sapphire Reserve cardmembers,” which may offer some insight into how the issuer is evaluating future lounge locations.

If that's the case, today's most popular destinations for Chase cardholders could become tomorrow's Sapphire Lounge locations.
