Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club opens at New York LaGuardia Airport

The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club can be found in Terminal B at New York LaGuardia Airport

US. Chase, the consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co, has continued its collaboration with travel experiences leader Airport Dimensions to launch a lounge at New York LaGuardia Airport.

The two-floor Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club is located post-security in the recently redeveloped Terminal B. At 21,800sq ft, it is the brand’s largest to date. As reported, the two companies introduced the same club concept to Boston Logan International Airport in May last year, following the brand’s debut at Hong Kong International Airport in 2022.

According to the partners, the latest link in the Chase network offers users an “elevated experience”, which includes Chase’s first bookable Reserve Suites, dedicated wellness rooms and a game room. It also features exclusive menus from New York favourites Joseph Leonard and Jeffrey’s Grocery and drink selections from Parcelle, Apotheke and Joe Coffee Company.

A similar lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport Terminal 4 is set on open on 23 January. The space is a joint offering with Etihad Airways, which previously operated the lounge.

Chase Head of Airport Lounge Benefits and Strategic Partnerships Dana Pouwels said: “Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers are travellers by nature and New York City is continuously topping the list of their travel destinations. As such, we’re thrilled to expand our offering to serve New Yorkers and visitors alike.

“With an expansive space, VIP touches, wellness amenities, locally sourced dining and more, this new lounge at LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B reflects our dedication to enhancing cardmembers’ travels from beginning to end.”

LaGuardia Gateway Partners (the manager and developer of Terminal B) Chief Executive Officer Suzette Noble commented: “We’re honoured to welcome Chase to Terminal B upon the opening of the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, which will be a spectacular addition to our new terminal.

“This new amenity beautifully complements Terminal B’s commitment to elevating the experiences of our guests from the tri-state area and around the US.”

Wellness rooms are an integral part of the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club offer

Airport Dimensions President Americas Nancy Knipp added: “It is a privilege to support our partners, Chase, in bringing their vision for a market-leading lounge to life.

“The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club at LaGuardia Airport is a perfect example of Airport Dimensions’ ability to leverage our industry relationships and knowledge to deliver customer satisfaction and commercial success for our partners. We look forward to unveiling the innovative space, followed by further Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club locations throughout the year.”
