Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and San Diego International Airport are the latest hosts to the expanding presence of Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, an upscale airport lounge designed for the discerning traveler. The Phoenix lounge swung open its doors on November 12th, in Terminal 4, joining other locations such as New York City and Boston. According to the
Phoenix Business Journal
, this venue is set to generate at least $3.8 million annually for the city. San Diego’s addition will follow suit, slated to welcome visitors on December 6th at Terminal 2.
In line with a broader trend, airport lounges have seen surging demand, leading to a bit of a predicament for airport operators. While they aspire to adequately meet customer desires, they also recognize that lounges occupy valuable real estate within the already cramped confines of airports. A recent report by Research and Markets, cited by the Phoenix Business Journal, pegged the value of the global airport lounge market at $4.21 billion in 2024 with potential growth up to $9.44 billion by 2029.
Chase Sapphire Lounge at Phoenix Sky Harbor boasts amenities that celebrate local culture and tastes. Highlighted by panoramic tarmac views, a centerpiece bar, and an Airstream food truck that serves a menu from Phoenix restaurant the larder & the delta, the space encapsulates a distinctive Arizona flair. Arizona-based artist Timmy Ham has contributed to the aesthetic, having hand-painted art elements in the facility,

Moreover, the planned San Diego location is poised to provide a space reflective of its Southern California surroundings. This initiative falls under Chase’s concerted efforts to create destinations that resonate with their particular locational identity. Dana Pouwels, Head of Airport Lounge Benefits at Chase, relayed, “When we opened our first domestic lounge, we were clear that expanding our footprint and elevating the on-trip experience for our Sapphire Reserve cardmembers was a priority,” as reported by

. The San Diego venue will feature unique decor, wellness areas, and food options reflective of local favorites.
Looking ahead, the roll-out of the luxe lounges will continue into 2025, with Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles all on the docket for their own Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club. These facilities represent a continued commitment by Chase to provide premium, location-specific experiences for travelers and cardholders
