Airport lounges have quickly become one of the hottest battlegrounds between credit card issuers, and the competition is only getting more intense.
Chase is moving forward with its Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club. But, as expected, to enter it is necessary to keep the correct credit card.
Right now, eight Chase lounges are open in the US, with two more on the way in Dallas and Los Angeles.
Although American Express remains the undisputed heavyweight in this area with its Global Salon CollectionCapital One has also ventured into this field with its Capital One Airport Lounges.
With new lounges opening all the time, it’s more important than ever to know your lounge options before heading to the airport.
Here you’ll find the latest on current and upcoming Sapphire Lounges, plus what to expect and how to access them.

The lounge features a self-service buffet, the option to order from an a la carte menu using QR codes, a full-service bar offering locally inspired cocktails, and a unique taproom with craft beer.
In addition, the salon offers wellness rooms with massage chairs and comfortable sun loungers for relaxing.
Dulles International Airport (IAD) Lounge
The Etihad Lounge at Dulles is located in Terminal A, near Gate A14. Like the JFK lounge, this is an Etihad Lounge that received a Chase makeover.

We’ll explain how to access all of these locations below, but Etihad Airways premium passengers can also access this lounge, even without being a Chase cardholder.
Location of Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
The issuer lounge at LAS is located beyond security in Terminal 1, Concourse C, between gates 23 and 24. It opened in December 2025, has two floors, covers 4,590 square feet and has seating options for up to 87 people.
It’s especially compact compared to its fellow Sapphire lounges, but has a great vibe. The space features colorful artwork and a lively atmosphere.

Food options include Momofuku bites (pork buns and spicy cucumber salad, anyone?). Upstairs, visitors can enjoy a glass of champagne in the champagne lounge.
Location of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
The issuer will bring a VIP lounge to LAX on an unconfirmed date. It will be near the west gates of the Tom Bradley International Terminal, adjacent to Gate 148.
All LAX terminals are connected on the air side (post-security), meaning that, in theory, any traveler could visit this lounge, although the Tom Bradley International Terminal will be a little out of the way for some travelers.

The new lounge will measure around 9,000 square feet, which is a bit smaller, especially for an airport the size of LAX.
Lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
The Sapphire Lounge is located next to the Amex Centurion Lounge in Terminal 4. Like the location at IAD, this space is a redesigned Etihad Lounge rather than a Chase built from scratch.

Furthermore, it presents Book SuitesChase’s salon-within-a-salon concept. While these lounges are prohibitively expensive for the average traveler, those with enough money to splurge will enjoy their own private suite for three hours.
Location of Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
The 20,000-square-foot Chase lounge opened in February 2025. It is at the connector between Terminal D (home of Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, Spirit Airlines, Alaska Airlines and United Airlines) and Terminal E (where gates for Frontier Airlines, JetBlue, Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Spirit Airlines can be found).
If you go through the Terminal D Transportation Security Administration checkpoint, you will be right up there once you pass through security.

Location of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
The Sapphire Lounge at PHX opened in November 2024 and is located in the new eight-gate facility in Terminal 4.
