My Experience and Thoughts
I recently had the chance to visit the Chase Sapphire Lounge at Washington Dulles (IAD), and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the lounge.
The lounge is part of the Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club concept, which is continuing to expand its airport lounge presence.
I was excited to see that the lounge is one of the many locations that Chase is opening in the future, with a total of seven locations already up and running.
You need a Priority Pass membership to enter the lounge, although it's primarily intended for those with the Chase Sapphire Reserve.
The lounge is essentially a modified Priority Pass lounge, with entry requirements that are a bit quirky but worth it for the exceptional quality of the lounge.
I've been to my fair share of airport lounges, and I can confidently say that the Chase Sapphire Lounge at Dulles is among the best I've ever been to.
