Misryoum rounds up the latest Chase Sapphire Lounge openings, where they are, and who can access them.
Chasing airport lounge perks is getting a lot more interesting as Chase expands its Sapphire Lounge network across the United States.
Misryoum reports that Chase Sapphire Lounges are already operating in multiple airports, with more venues planned for the future. The key to making the most of these spaces starts before you reach the gate, since access depends on which card you hold and which lounge you’re visiting.
Right now. eight Chase Sapphire Lounges are open in the U.S.. with additional locations slated for Dallas and Los Angeles.. Several of the lounges sit alongside other premium facilities. reflecting how issuers are building “lounge clusters” to give frequent travelers more options within the same terminal areas.
At Boston Logan (BOS). the Sapphire Lounge is positioned in the terminal B-to-C connector and is designed to be easy to reach for departures from any terminal.. Misryoum notes that the lounge experience includes a mix of dining choices and dedicated spaces for relaxation. giving it a slightly more “airport escape” feel than a basic waiting area.
Meanwhile, the D.C.. area is home to a Sapphire Lounge at Washington Dulles (IAD). where the setup is intentionally intimate. with a smaller footprint and multiple levels.. In Las Vegas (LAS). Misryoum says the Sapphire Lounge opened in December 2025 and is located after security in Terminal 1. Concourse C.
This matters because lounge access is still not “one size fits all.” Even when two travelers have the same credit card, their experience can differ widely depending on whether their departure airport has a Sapphire Lounge and how access rules are applied at that specific location.
On the West Coast. Misryoum highlights that Los Angeles (LAX) is expected to welcome a new Sapphire Lounge near the Tom Bradley International Terminal. though the timing has not been confirmed.. In New York. the JFK Sapphire Lounge is set up next to the Amex Centurion Lounge in Terminal 4. again showing how premium airport real estate is increasingly co-located for convenience.
Misryoum also points to additional openings beyond major hubs, including LaGuardia (LGA), Philadelphia (PHL), Phoenix (PHX), and San Diego (SAN). Access and amenities vary by airport, with some lounges featuring family-focused areas, shower options, and dedicated wellness or relaxation spaces.
For access rules, Misryoum says the lounges are available to cardholders including Chase Sapphire Reserve (and related premium variants).. Cardholders can also bring guests (with guest limits and potential fees beyond the included number). while children under 2 can enter for free.. If you don’t hold a qualifying Chase card. Priority Pass members can still access a Chase Sapphire Lounge once per calendar year and may be able to purchase additional guest access.. Certain Etihad travelers can also access specific lounges such as those in JFK and IAD.
Finally, the “who gets in” details are the part that most often surprises travelers. As Misryoum sees Chase and other issuers keep expanding their networks, the smartest move is to confirm lounge access ahead of your trip so your layover upgrade is smooth rather than last-minute.
