Is there an airport lounge for Chase Sapphire?

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® credit card provides airport lounge access to cardholders by way of a complimentary membership to Priority Pass.



Yes, as of 2026, Chase has significantly expanded its network of "Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club." These premium spaces are specifically available to Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders, who receive a complimentary Priority Pass Select membership that grants them unlimited access. These lounges have become famous for their high-end "local" culinary programs, craft cocktails, and "wellness" areas including facial treatments and relaxation pods. You can find these lounges in major hubs like New York (JFK and LGA), Boston (BOS), Las Vegas (LAS), and Philadelphia (PHL), with several international locations like Hong Kong (HKG) also in operation. For 2026 travelers, these lounges are considered a major upgrade over the standard Priority Pass offerings, as they are less crowded and provide a much higher level of luxury and service. If you hold the standard Chase Sapphire Preferred card, you do not have complimentary access to these lounges, though you may occasionally be able to purchase a day pass if capacity allows, making the "Reserve" card the definitive choice for lounge enthusiasts.
