Bank branded lounges have become a required perk for high-end credit cards. AMEX started their own lounge network when American, Continental, and USAirways stopped allowing Platinum cardholders to access their lounges. Other banks are now trying to catch up with them.

Chase will open their 2nd full service domestic club, with the opening of the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club at LaGuardia Airport.  

That comes after the opening of a Sapphire Lounge in Boston, Hong Kong, and a Sapphire Terrace in Austin.

The expansive 21,800 square foot club will be located in LaGuardia’s Terminal B, post-security on the 4th floor, with its entrance next to the AMEX Centurion lounge. It will be open daily from 4:30am-9:30pm. Airlines serving Terminal B include Air Canada, American, JetBlue, Southwest, and United.

The Sapphire Lounge JFK opens on 1/23 and is a joint offering with Etihad Airways, which previously operated the lounge before COVID, but will now reopen and offer the signature Chase Sapphire experience. This is the first Sapphire lounge not custom built by Chase. That will be located in Terminal 4 post-security on Level 4, above Gate A2, also near that airport’s AMEX Centurion lounge. Terminal 4 airlines include Delta, El Al, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Air India, Avianca, China Airlines, Copa, Emirates, Etihad, Hawaiian, KLM, LATAM, Singapore, Virgin Atlantic, Westjet, and more. More JFK lounge details will be revealed next week.

The LaGuardia lounge will feature a retro-inspired style game room equipped with a jukebox, pinball, shuffleboard and photobooth for complimentary use.

The lounge also includes a kids’ playroom and a nursing room.

Wellness rooms with complimentary treatments from Face Haus will be available. Visitors can choose from a variety of complimentary treatment options from an esthetician that can be booked onsite on a first-come first-served basis.

Freebies:

• Visitors can also request a complimentary Fly By Face Haus Skincare Travel Kit, even without getting a treatment.
• Chase Sapphire commissioned local artist, Eugenia Mello, to create custom, locally inspired Solgaard luggage tag for Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardmembers as a keepsake, while supplies last.

“First-rate” cocktails and mocktails, including the Sapphire Signature Cocktail, as well as made-to-order Joe Coffee barista beverages will be available at the bar.

“This expansive space features design details that draw inspiration from some of the world’s best designers including Corgan Architecture, and featured furniture from Cappellini, Poliform, Moroso, DePadova and more. The space is accented by hand-selected artwork from the JPMorgan Chase & Co. private art collection, including commissioned pieces from local artists, Aundre Larrow and Michelle Rick, who created a custom wallcovering depicting photography of local landmarks and people. The photos were taken specifically for this lounge.”

Also available are three Reserve Suites, which are private bookable rooms that can accommodate 4-8 travelers each. Each suite includes a personal bathroom and shower, suite attendant, and much more. You can book a suite at least 72 hours in advance and up to a year in advance on the Chase app in benefits and travel. They won’t come cheap, expect to spend $2,200-$3,000 for a few hours in these suites.
