If you're a Chase Sapphire cardholder, you're in luck - you can now access the Etihad Airways lounge. This is a game-changer for anyone looking to upgrade their airport experience.

The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club with Etihad Airways is a new partnership that offers lounge access to Chase Sapphire cardholders. This means you can enjoy the luxurious amenities of the Etihad lounge, including fine dining and comfortable seating.

With this new partnership, you can access the Etihad lounge at multiple locations.

Sapphire Lounge by Etihad Airways

The Sapphire Lounge by Etihad Airways is a unique concept that combines the amenities of a lounge with the benefits of a partnership with an airline.

Located in Terminal 4 of New York JFK Airport, the lounge is situated in the mezzanine on level four, above gate A2, with an entrance right next to the Amex Centurion Lounge.

The lounge is open daily from 5AM until 11PM, and can be accessed through the Chase network even in the hours leading up to the departure of Etihad flights.

You can expect the lounge to have the typical Chase Sapphire Lounge offerings, including made-to-order and ready-to-eat options, signature cocktails and wine, coffee from Joe Coffee, tea, and more.

The lounge is roughly 7,600 square feet, which is much smaller than the other lounge locations in the network, and will likely get very busy during peak periods.

Here are the lounge's operating hours:

  • 5AM - 11PM daily

It's worth noting that the lounge has undergone significant work to refresh its interior, and the design is quite impressive.

Lounge Locations and Expansion

The Chase Sapphire Lounge by the Club with Etihad Airways is expanding, and one of the locations to keep an eye on is Washington Dulles. The lounge is expected to be around 5,200 square feet, the same size as the former Etihad Lounge.

The lounge will be part of the Priority Pass network, which means members can enjoy a complimentary visit per year. However, any additional visits or guests will incur a fee of $75 per visit.

Chase Sapphire Lounge by the Club locations will also offer a day pass for $100 per visit, but it's worth considering getting a credit card that includes Priority Pass membership for unlimited access.

The Chase Sapphire Lounge at Washington Dulles Airport is a topic of interest, and it's worth noting that the lounge is expected to be around 5,200 square feet, which is the same size as the former Etihad Lounge.

Etihad Airways has had a lounge at Washington Dulles Airport for years, but it's been closed for a while. The plan is for the Etihad Lounge to become a Chase Sapphire Lounge, with a similar arrangement.

Etihad Lounge at IAD

The Etihad Lounge at IAD has been taken over by Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, which is excellent news for cardholders of the Chase Sapphire Reserve and Priority Pass members.

This lounge is located in Concourse A near gate A14 and is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. A same-day departure ticket is required for access, and you can only visit for 3 hours before your flight.

You can enjoy a complimentary buffet, signature cocktails, and a full table service menu. I've heard great things about the menu options, but I haven't had a chance to try it out myself.

The lounge also offers showers, a family room, and a prayer room, making it a great option for travelers with varying needs.

Accessing Lounges

Accessing Lounges can be a bit confusing, but don't worry, I've got the scoop. If you have a Priority Pass membership through the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card or The Ritz-Carlton Credit Card, you get unlimited access to the Chase Sapphire Lounge by the Club, with up to two complimentary guests.

However, if you have a Priority Pass membership through any other means, you can access the lounge once per calendar year at no additional cost, but guests aren't complimentary.

It's worth noting that you can buy access to the lounge for $100 per person per visit, subject to availability. This option is available if you don't have a Priority Pass membership.

Here's a breakdown of the entry fees:

  • Unlimited access: Chase Sapphire Reserve Card or The Ritz-Carlton Credit Card holders
  • 1 complimentary visit per year: Priority Pass members through other means
  • $75 per visit: Additional visits and guests for Priority Pass members
  • $100 per visit: Non-Priority Pass members
