Chase Sapphire has unveiled its newest airport lounge at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York, offering a premium experience for travelers. This lounge, which opened on January 16, is the latest addition to Chase Sapphire’s portfolio and its largest yet, following launches in Hong Kong and Boston.
Location and Accessibility The lounge is conveniently located post-security in Terminal B, which serves United, JetBlue, American Airlines, Southwest, and Air Canada. It’s easily accessible after passing through the security checkpoint and is situated near the American Express Centurion Lounge.
Inside the Lounge The two-level lounge boasts a contemporary design with a spacious dining area, a circular cocktail bar, and a mezzanine accessible by a grand staircase. The lounge features a self-serve beverage station and an open kitchen offering hot and cold food items, including dishes from local favorites like Joseph Leonard. For made-to-order food, guests can scan a QR code at each table.
The bar offers a variety of drinks, including a specialty cocktail menu curated by Manhattan’s Apotheke. The lounge’s design includes textured wood and velvet surfaces, and contemporary art from the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection. Additionally, there are spaces for lounging, private phone calls, and a small playroom for children.
