Chase has quietly built one of the better airport lounge networks in the United States. The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club collection, run with Airport Dimensions, now spans nine US airports — Boston, Dallas Fort Worth, New York JFK and LaGuardia, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego and Washington Dulles — with at least two more in the works.

Access is the main thing to understand, because it has tightened up. Holders of the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Sapphire Reserve for Business cards get unlimited visits plus two free guests, and that same benefit extends to J.P. Morgan Reserve and Ritz-Carlton cardholders. Extra guests cost $27 each. Entry requires either the physical eligible card or the Priority Pass membership tied to it. Crucially, Priority Pass members from other cards — like the Capital One Venture X or Amex Platinum — no longer get in at all; the old once-a-year visit perk was scrapped. Anyone else can buy a spot at $100 per visit, subject to availability. You can enter within three hours of departure (five if you're connecting), and kids under two are free. The Sapphire Preferred card, despite the name, gets you nothing here.

The lounges themselves punch above typical US airport offerings. Food comes via both buffet and à la carte ordering, with locally inspired menus: Sarma in Boston, Momofuku in Las Vegas, Sailor in LaGuardia, plus coffee partnerships and wine lists curated by Parcelle. Standout extras vary by location. Boston has a taproom with local beers, showers and massage chairs. Dallas, the newest and one of the biggest at roughly 18,000 square feet, offers a whiskey lounge and a wellness zone with facials and resting pods. LaGuardia's two-story space includes an arcade, a free Face Haus spa, and the over-the-top Reserve Suites — three private rooms with a dedicated attendant, caviar service and showers, running $2,200–3,000 for a three-hour block. Las Vegas adds a champagne parlor with bar cart service, while JFK's lounge, operated with Etihad, also admits that airline's premium cabin passengers and top-tier frequent flyers.

Two locations have disappeared along the way: the Hong Kong lounge was rebranded in early 2026, and the Austin terrace closed after the airport repurposed the space.

For travellers, the practical takeaway is this: if you hold the Sapphire Reserve, these lounges are genuinely worth building your airport routine around, and adding authorized users extends the same access to them. If you rely on Priority Pass through another card, plan around the fact that these doors are now closed to you — and know that the $100 walk-up rate only makes sense in a pinch.
