American Express set the standard high with its rollout of Amex Centurion Lounges. Playing catch up, Capital One and Chase are adding their own line of airport lounges. With one overseas location already open, Chase opened the doors to its first U.S. Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston on May 16, 2023. We also expect Chase to open several additional lounges in 2023.
In fact, Chase plans to rapidly grow its footprint to nine airport lounges across the United States. Which airports have or will have a Chase Sapphire Lounge and who can access these lounges? Let's dig into all of the details.

Note: This post refers to both “Chase Sapphire Lounges” and the “Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club.” These terms are used interchangeably, but the official name for Chase's line of airport lounges is the “Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club.”

What are Chase Sapphire Lounges?
The concept of the Chase Sapphire Lounge is similar to that of the American Express Centurion Lounge. With that said, Chase Sapphire Lounges are more accessible than American Express Centurion Lounges, thanks to their inclusion in the Priority Pass network.
With the opening of the Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston on May 16, two Chase Sapphire Lounges are now open to travelers — with the other in Hong Kong International Airport. Plus, Chase opened a new Chase Sapphire Terrace in Austin on March 20, 2023. There are eight additional lounge locations in the works that will soon open their doors to travelers.
Chase's airport lounges are in partnership with Airport Dimensions. Airport Dimensions is best known for the company's “The Club” airport lounges.

Below you'll find a complete list of open and planned Chase Sapphire Lounges, including club amenities.
What Airports Have Chase Sapphire Lounges?
As of May 2023, only two Chase Sapphire Lounges are open to travelers: one in Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) and the other at the Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). The Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) also features the Chase Sapphire Terrace, although this isn't a full-fledged lounge experience.
However, 2023 will bring a number of additions to Chase's lounge portfolio.
Airport | Location | Hours |
---|---|---|
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) | Terminal 1 International Departures, West Hall, Level 7, Departures Level, near Gate 40 | 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM |
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) | Terminal B/C Connector, between Gates 39 and 40 | 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM |
Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) | Terminal D, near Gate 35 | Future Location: TBA |
Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) | Terminal 1, C Gates | Future Location: TBA |
New York-LaGuardia (LGA) | Terminal B | Future Location: TBA |
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) | Terminal D/E Connector | Future Location: TBA |
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) | Terminal 4 South | Future Location: TBA |
San Diego International Airport (SAN) | Terminal 2 West | Future Location: TBA |
Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) | Terminal A | Future Location: TBA |
Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS) | Near Gate 1 | 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM |
Unfortunately, very little is known about these future lounge locations — including opening dates. However, it is quite likely that many of these future lounges will open sometime in 2023.
Here's what we know so far about some of the future Chase Sapphire Lounge locations:
- Dallas (DFW): Leaked in February 2023, this club has been approved by the DFW Airport Board.
- Phoenix (PHX): 3,500 square feet, likely to open in the first half of 2023
- San Diego (SAN): 11,000 square-foot lounge will likely open in late 2023. The lounge will be on the mezzanine level of Terminal 2, located near Gates 46 & 47. Documents show that the lounge will include locally-inspired cuisine and artwork.
Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club Amenities
Details about future locations are being kept under wraps, though amenities should remain fairly consistent across all locations. With the first two Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club now open, we can take a look at the amenities travelers can expect when visiting these lounges.

Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club Boston Logan International Airport
The amenities offered at the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club are generous, especially considering the lounge is accessible to Priority Pass members. At nearly 12,000 square feet, the lounge is also rather large. Featuring warm furnishings and wood finishes, the lounge offers guests an inviting environment with a premium feel.

Here are the amenities available to Chase Sapphire Lounge guests:
- Locally-inspired food
- Premium spirits
- Wi-Fi
- Work areas
- Comfortable seating
- Kid's room
- Nursing suite
- Wellness room
- Shower suites

As you can see, the lounge features standard amenities along with some local flair. For example, this location includes a tap room with local craft beer on tap.

Who Has Access to Chase Sapphire Airport Lounges?
Despite the Chase Sapphire branding, many non-Chase cardholders have access to Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club locations. This is thanks to Chase Sapphire lounges being part of the Priority Pass network.
Anyone with a Chase Sapphire Reserve® and its associated Priority Pass membership gets unlimited access to the Chase Sapphire Lounge for themselves and up to two guests.
Chase also allows anyone with a Priority Pass membership from other credit cards one free entry per calendar year. Subsequent entries will cost more — much more. Day passes cost $100.
Note that the Chase Sapphire Lounge located in Hong Kong is still available via a standard Priority Pass membership with no additional charge. We don't know how long this will last.
Moreover, the Sapphire Terrace in Austin is not considered a lounge and has unique access rules. Only those with the Sapphire Reserve have access — not Priority Pass members.
The Top Credit Cards with Access to Chase Sapphire Lounges
As previously mentioned, you don't have to be a Chase cardholder to access Chase Sapphire Lounges. All Priority Pass holders can access the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club for free once per calendar year. There are two ways to obtain a Priority Pass membership.
The first way to obtain a Priority Pass membership is through a premium credit card that offers membership as a benefit to cardholders. There are quite a few credit cards that offer Priority Pass membership.
Here are some of the best credit cards that offer Priority Pass membership to cardholders:

Paid Priority Pass memberships
The second way to obtain a Priority Pass membership is to buy one. This method of obtaining a membership is far less popular. And that's for good reason. The cost of membership is often higher than the annual fee of credit cards that provide a Priority Pass membership.
Still, for individuals who don't want a credit card with an annual fee, purchasing a Priority Pass membership is an option. Here is an overview of the three options when purchasing a Priority Pass membership:
- Standard Membership: $99 a year; each member visit is $35 with guest access for an additional $35 per visit
- Standard Plus Membership: $329 a year; 10 complimentary visits, with additional visits priced at $35 each. Members can bring guests for an additional $35 per visit.
- Prestige Membership: $499 a year; all member visits free of charge, with guest access available for $35 per visit.
It's obvious when you compare Priority Pass membership fees with the annual fees of the credit cards listed above that purchasing a membership outright isn't the best deal. Still, it's an option. Check out our detailed post to learn more about the Priority Pass program.

The Bottom Line
As of May 16, the first two Chase Sapphire Lounges are now open, as well as the Chase Sapphire Terrace in Austin. In addition, there are eight additional Chase Sapphire Lounges in the works. This is great news — not just for Sapphire Reserve cardholders but anyone with a Priority Pass membership.
Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club will be located in some of the largest airports across the globe. While each lounge will offer pretty standard amenities, they're also offering thoughtful details based on where they're located. Additional information on the new lounges is still pretty hard to come by, but we expect many to open their doors to guests sometime in 2023.

Looks like Priority Pass holders only get access to the International versions of the Sapphire Lounge. i.e. cannot get into the Austin, TX (AUS) lounge, but can access the Hong Kong (HKG) one.
Mike, just to clarify: The Sapphire Terrace at AUS is not considered a Sapphire Lounge and has different rules for getting in. It’s only open to those with the Sapphire Reserve or J.P. Morgan Reserve Card. It’s not part of Priority Pass. For the other lounges in the Sapphire network, you can use one visit per year across the lounge locations. After that, Priority Pass members pay per visit.
I wonder how crowding will be. I went to the Wings lounge in jfk and it wasn’t too bad but they did control who went in and, of course, had capacity limits. I didn’t have an issue getting in though. It will be nice to take advantage of these lounges too. I feel that they’ll be popular though and might try to stick to less popular ones to relax.
Any word whether Sapphire Preferred cards (which don’t come with Priority Pass) will grant access?
Unfortunately it seems Chase isn’t granting any sort of access to Chase Sapphire Lounges to CSP cardholders. Kinda strange too. I figured that Chase would do something like Capital One is doing and allow a couple of visits each year.
It would be awesome if Sapphire Reserve cardholders could bring a guest under their PriorityPass, plus an additional guest directly with their Reserve Card. That would definitely be a reason to keep Sapphire vs. any other Priority Pass card. But perhaps that’s hoping for too much?
It’s possible PP members may have lounge access during non-peak times and Chase Sapphire members have lounge access anytime for Chase branded lounges. Other possibilities could be Chase Sapphire members get extra perks like a food/bar credit or priority if there’s a waitlist to get in.
Interesting that none of these are united hubs considering chase has a big partnership with United. And none of these are really hubs. Probably know they would be way overcrowded if they put a lounge in a major airline hub.
Washington Dulles is a United hub (although Concourse A is a pain to get to from most United gates.)
Ed, I dont understand what you mean. Every one of these locations is a major hub of at least one airline, and all the USA locations are in the largest USA global gateway mean metropolitan statistical area population centers..
And Washington Dulles is a major United hub.
The others:
Hong Kong: Cathay Pacific, HK Express, Hong Kong Airlines. United has a focus city presence.
Boston: JetBlue’s Terminal C hub and American Airlines Terminal B focus city operation will be directly adjacent to the Sapphire lounge. Delta is further away, but has a major hub in Boston Terminal A
Las Vegas: Allegiant, Spirit, Southwest. Also Frontier and United have focus city presence in Las Vegas.
LaGuardia: Ok, you may have a point that American and JetBlue and United treat LGA Terminal B is more of focus city, although the further away Terminal C is a major Delta hub.
Philadelphia: American
Phoenix: American. Also a focus city for Southwest.
San Diego: Alaska, Southwest. Also a focus city for Delta.
Well that’s interesting the new concourse in Phoenix will be used by swa that’s gotta be a first seeing a lounge in swa territory
Very interesting. I already have chase and if the lounges are as good as Amex lounges then I wouldn’t see a use to get the Amex Plat card. Amex has an issue with overcrowding. I wonder how Chase will be handling this. I know that I don’t want to pay a high annual fee unless it’s worth it for me and Amex is not making it entirely worth it.
3500 sq. feet in PHX seems mighty small for a city/airport of its size, especially with supposedly any PP members having access, and as compared to SAN and BOS being >10K sq. feet, not to mention being able to learn from the mess Amex has with its lounges and crowds/waitlists. Though I suppose with several terminals (that aren’t connected airside, I think) and the general amount of lounges available in PHX, maybe it will be ok? I guess time will tell.
Has it been confirmed by anyone that all PP members will have access to Chase’s lounges? Possibly a requirement by ‘the Club’ contracts? Or might, say, Amex be able to exclude lounge members from its cards, like it does from the PP restaurant program?
Unless Amex or Chase take steps to bar crossover entry by Priority Pass, this looks certain. Chase mentioned in the same sentence that Sapphire Reserve members have Priority Pass membership, which will grant them access. Until they clarify (A-these cardholders have PP, but the Sapphire Reserve is what grants the access / B-yes, everyone with PP can enter), we’ll have to wait.
