The Club SFO: Great New Priority Pass Lounge

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is getting a new Priority Pass lounge as of tomorrow, as flagged by Zach Griff. Not only is this great in terms of adding lounge capacity, but the lounge also looks really nice.

Details of The Club SFO at Harvey Milk Terminal 1

On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, we’ll see the opening of The Club SFO at Harvey Milk Terminal 1. The lounge is open daily from 4AM until 11PM. It’s located past security, just before gate B4, across from Mills Cargo (when you clear security, stay left).

The Club is a group of lounges run by Airport Dimensions, with 20 locations in the United States. Historically, I haven’t been a huge fan of The Club locations, but this lounge looks much nicer than the rest.

The Club SFO is over 12,000 square feet, and can accommodate nearly 250 guests. The lounge features lots of seating spread across a variety of zones, depending on whether you want to relax, eat, drink, or work. There’s even a wellness area for yoga, plus a shower suite.

Below you can see some pictures of the lounge. Honestly, I find that The Club locations usually look like the waiting room for a doctor’s office, so this is a massive upgrade. Hopefully it represents a new direction for the lounge network.

The Club SFO food & drink selection

The menus and drink lists have been published for The Club SFO, and the selection looks pretty good to me. Below you can find the food options.

The Club SFO access requirements

The Club is an independent group of airport lounges. The most common way to access these lounges will be with Priority Pass. Lounge access is permitted up to three hours prior to a flight’s scheduled departure time. In addition to Priority Pass, you can also buy a day pass to the lounge, at the cost of $75.

I imagine that crowding will be a concern here, given how many people have Priority Pass™ memberships, plus the lack of accessible lounges at the airport. So the lounge plans to have a waitlist system using a QR code, for situations where the space is at capacity.

In terms of access, Terminal 1 is used by Alaska, American, and JetBlue, among other carriers. As of recently, there are also airside connectors that allow you to get between all terminals and concourses at SFO while staying airside. However, in some cases it could be a really long walk, so plan accordingly.

Bottom line

The Club SFO is opening as of June 26, 2024. The 12,000 square foot lounge has seating for nearly 250 people. Not only is it exciting to have a Priority Pass lounge in Harvey Milk Terminal 1, but this also legitimately looks like the best lounge we’ve seen so far from The Club. I look forward to checking this out at some point.

At the lounge now on Saturday afternoon. I changed my flight from OAK to SFO to check out the lounge. There was a 10 people line, and after waiting to get to the front desk we were placed on the priority pass wait-list. They said it would take 30 minutes and after 30 minutes we did indeed get a notification via SMS. If you paid the $75 with a time slot assignment, you get enter walk in right away it seems. The lounge is nice! Almost as nice as airline alliance lounges in LAX. A big upgrade over other centurión studio lounges or priority pass lounges in other countries. I didn't see any way to order food. Maybe that's for the paying customers? We ate from the buffet line, it was a small selection but pretty good. I like how the rice bowl portions are small which helps me pace myself. 4 dessert options. Didn't try the bar. The relax room, acclimation room, yoga room are all locked. Maybe it's first come first serve? Has bathrooms, all-gender bathrooms, showers (all showing occupied sign), 1 room for family with children, 2 phone booth room. The infamous Jenga set is still here inside the bookshelf.

Here now. At capacity day 1 and it’s not even on the Amex app yet. Line is going to be a problem as the max queue space is mayb 12-15 people and blocks the exit. It’s a bit hot, understaffed, dirty dishware everywhere. Ordered cioppino and goat cheese burrata through the QR code on the table. Only here out of curiosity, next time I’ll be at the admirals lounge or at a terminal restaurant.

Although I have multiple ways to access lounges, I sometimes just grab a quick bite in the lounge near my departure gate especially if I only have a short period of time before my next flight segment. How do you get on the Prriority Pass lounge waitlist prior to your arrival?

I’m not sure I’d. call them independent as both Airport Dimensions and Priority Pass are part of collinson who offers the products

Way overdue. Priority pass options are extremely limited in SFO - basically just China airlines which is rarely open to PP, Virgin which is never and Golden Gate which arbitrarily sets its own rules on who they admit and when
