Chase has been aggressively expanding its airport lounge portfolio, with the opening of Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club. Last week we saw the opening of the Chase Sapphire Lounge New York LaGuardia, and this week we’ve seen the opening of the Chase Sapphire Lounge New York Kennedy, in partnership with Etihad Airways.

Having all the Priority Pass folk crowd a lounge originally dedicated for just premium passengers?
Oof. Brutal
A220, great point. We've seen what's happened with Amex lounges and Capital One lounges. Very unappealing. As such, I prefer airline proprietary lounges over independent/contract lounges and it's the rare occasion that I don't have access. While it's unlikely that I will ever use a Sapphire Lounge, I truly hope they have a better experience than Amex and Capital One.
going to be a hard pass as a CSP member with priority pass. 1 visit a year, and a fee for a guest?! and a small square footage footprint to boot.
no thanks
Great news to hear that another lounge is opening at JFK. However, this lounge is 3x smaller than the newly opened chase lounge at LGA- it will have a line at the door.
However, its great news that Delta now has 2 massive sky clubs at JFK T4, plus the Centurion Lounge and the Chase Lounge.
It'll be fun seeing how unmanageably crowded the IAD lounge gets when it opens in the old Etihad space. The lounge itself is extremely nice, but extremely small - just the right size for pre-Covid Etihad pax and Emirates pax, but using that space for CSR Priority Pass holders plus two guests for unlimited visits? That should make for a nice cluster.
Probably a good thing overall. 1 of the 2 delta lounge in T4 gets ridiculously crowded with Disney land like queues to get in. And the other nice pp lounge there (virgin) has limited hours for pp. So anything will hopefully ease congestion.
"Chase Sapphire Lounges are only accessible within three hours of departure, unless you’re connecting, in which case you can access it earlier"
I was informed that even on connecting you cannot access more than 3 hours.
the policy is all Chase lounges
