Chase’s Sapphire Lounge network is expanding.

After making its U.S. debut in Boston in 2023, Chase has been growing the lounge network rapidly, opening permanent locations at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and Washington Dulles (IAD).

Now, travelers can expect new lounges at both Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and San Diego International Airport (SAN). In fact, the PHX location already opened its doors on November 12, 2024, while the SAN lounge will open in December.

“When we opened our first domestic lounge, we were clear that expanding our footprint and elevating the on-trip experience for our Sapphire Reserve cardmembers was a priority,” Dana Pouwels, head of airport lounge benefits at Chase, said in a statement. “Our openings in Phoenix and San Diego, in addition to the expansion of lounge access in locations where our customers live and travel, continues along our goal of delivering this highly sought after benefit.”

Here’s everything that you need to know about Chase’s latest lounges.

Chase Sapphire Lounge in Phoenix

At PHX, the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club is now open in the Terminal 4 South 1 Concourse, covering 3,500 square feet. Lounge hours are from 4:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily. While the lounge is on the smaller side, it feels bigger than it is thanks to panoramic views of the tarmac through the lounge’s ribbon window.

The lounge’s centerpiece bar offers craft cocktails and stylish seating along with an indoor terrace overlooking the airport’s concourse. For food and beverages, a retrofitted Airstream food truck features dishes from local Phoenix restaurant The Larder & The Delta. The curated drink menu includes Press Coffee, an Arizona-based specialty coffee roaster, and a wine list from Parcelle, one of the country’s most renowned wine retailers. Parcelle has become a staple at Sapphire Lounge locations.

Visitors will find art throughout the lounge, including works by Arizona-based artist Timmy Ham. While supplies last, guests can also pick up a custom-designed, complimentary luggage tag, made in collaboration with Solgaard.

Chase Sapphire Lounge in San Diego

Next month, on December 6, Chase will open another Sapphire Lounge by The Club, with this location coming to SAN‘s Terminal 2. Lounge hours will be 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Th 10,000-square-foot lounge leans into its Southern California home, including surfboards designed by local muralist Hanna Daly and a beachy aesthetic throughout the space.

Because this lounge is larger than the Phoenix outpost, there are more amenities available, including a dedicated wellness area with private rest pods, on-demand digital meditations from Devi Brown, and facial treatments from Face Haus. These perks may sound familiar, as they’re available at Chase’s other locations in BOS and LGA.

Finally, guests will enjoy multiple food and drink options. These include an à la carte menu with dishes from Oscars Mexican Seafood — a San Diego staple — and coffee from California’s Groundwork Coffee. Parcelle, once again, will curate the wine menu.

Other Chase Lounges

On November 16, Chase will unveil a limited-time pop-up lounge location at Las Vegas’ ARIA Resort & Casino for Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardmembers. The space will feature food from the celebrated restaurant Momofuku and cocktails from Los Angeles- and New York-based speakeasy Apotheke.

Meanwhile, guests will soon find permanent Sapphire Lounge locations at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) in early 2025 and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in mid-2025. Looking further into the future, a new lounge location is planned for Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Unfortunately, another recent development was Chase’s confirmation of the end of the Sapphire Terrace in Austin in March 2025.

Final Thoughts

Chase is once again making lounge news with new locations at both PHX (now open) and SAN (opening next month). The card issuer has another 2 lounge locations planned to open by the middle of 2025, giving Chase a solid network of pre-departure airport lounges. The carrier is making up serious ground as it tries to compete against American Express Centurion Lounges and Capital One Lounges.
