Chase has been aggressively expanding its airport lounge portfolio, with the opening of Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club. Up until now, four Chase Sapphire Lounges have been open, including in Boston (BOS), Hong Kong (HKG), New York (JFK), and New York (LGA). A fifth lounge has just quietly opened as part of the network,…

Ben, have you heard any updates as to when the west coast Sapphire lounges will be opening? I believe Phoenix was scheduled to open within a matter of weeks....
I disagree with you about United. United has a number of flights from Terminal A that have not had access to a club so this is a great option.
Where do you see the info about the no entry until 3 hours before departure not applying when connecting flights? I was recently denied entry to the Chase lounges at BOS and HKG and told to come back 3 hours before departure when on a long connection. I protested with the agent that the 3 hour rule didn't apply on connections but was told that it was always applicable, and I couldn't find any "official" sources that corroborated the presence of an exception to the 3 hour rule for connections. Does anyone know of one...since I'm sure this blog post would not suffice?
So the access you describe is somewhat confusing...........can't someone just flash their Chase Sapphire Reserve card out and receive admittance? The way you describe it is that they have to pull out a Priority Pass card?
I have a flight to Rome out of Dulles in April. Should I go to chase or cap one lounge ?
Cap 1 is near tsa from my recollection; this chase lounge is in the same terminal that the ITA flight to FCO flies out of. I'd say chase due to ease of access.
United flights from terminal a are mainly erj/crj domestic flights. International flights leave out of C/D terminal.
Don't worry, they will come very soon.
A senior executive source from Chase hinted off the record that their goal is to open on average one location each month this year. So far right on schedule.
I will be there tomorrow with my Ritz-Carlton card. IAD has lots of choices with Priority Pass, and now Sapphire. I hope PHX is next.
"Chase Sapphire Lounges are only accessible within three hours of departure, unless you’re connecting, in which case you can access it earlier"
where in their Terms and conditions does it mention the connecting clause. because I was told by Chase that it's only 3 hours for everyone, not different if connecting.
Why not both? Hit up Cap 1 after passing security, then move on to the Chase lounge closer to departure time?
Gorgeous lounge! Also less than 10 mins to C/D (United) gates since it is right near the train/pods.
You would that just showing your Sapphire card would be the way. But it’s not. You must show priority pass and boarding pass. Probably easier for them to track attendance that way.
