If there's no wait list, you have 10 minutes to get to the lounge once you check-in on the app. If there is a wait, they give you a time to come back, so it's convenient to plan. If you have the black card, I don't believe you need to wait. But also, if you have the black card, wouldn't you be flying on PJs?? I do think it's not quite as luxe as I would have expected for the Amex brand, but it's not bad for free access. Space is pretty clean as well considering how busy it is.

My least favorite of the Centurion Lounges that I have been. Just seemed tighter and not as loungey…read moreas the ones in LAX or MIA for instance. Just gave me a cafeteria feel. There was always wait for a drink, not enough space at the bar and people bumping into each other to get food. From what I understand, they are remodeling their usual space so perhaps I have to come back Any reason to head to beautiful San Francisco

I have no complaints with this lounge. You get access with priority pass plus an extra $15 charge…read more It was an easy check in process and the staff was very nice and welcoming. The food is good and pretty varied - I had some Thai coconut soup, chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, and pancakes from the fun pancake machine. Halfway through my visit, they brought out some gildas & spanakopita. They're also stocked with treats like Ghirardelli chocolates, cookies, and more along with snacks. They have a freestyle Coca Cola machine but when I was there they were out of any diet options. I opted for an unsweetened iced tea. The bar area is beautiful and signature cocktails, house wines, and beer are included. There is an up charge for "premium" spirits, wine and beer. Overall this was a great lounge experience - plenty of seating, easy entry, good food, and good drink options. Well worth the $15 up charge for Priority Pass and I'd definitely return.

Alaska Airlines Lounge -- SFO Terminal 1…read more Red-eye out of Honolulu. Three hours to kill before the next flight. Walking off a plane at that hour, you are not looking for much, just somewhere quiet to land. The Alaska Lounge was right across from our gate. First time in, and the staff made it feel like they were glad we showed up. Friendly, genuine, no airport-zombie energy. The space is impressive. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tarmac and the hillside, plenty of natural light, and seating for every mood: work tables, soft chairs, window loungers, even a private booth if you need to take a call. I planted myself at a window seat and didn't move. The bar is well-stocked. What stood out was having an actual barista on-site. Oat milk latte and a bowl of steel cut oatmeal, exactly what I needed at that hour. One honest note: the food selection was thin and several items needed restocking when we came through. The staff were apologetic and moved quickly, which matters. But the variety just wasn't there. Solid lounge. Good people. Great space. The food program has room to grow into what the rest of the experience already delivers.

Located at the International A terminal on 4th floor. Turn left after you pass TSA security check…read moreand head towards the airport lounges. There are both elevators and stairs up to the lounges. This lounge is just mediocre to me because it's a little small and the food selection is limited. They do offer Asian style food options if your taste is for Asian food. The food we had was tasty. It will definitely get you by until your in-flight meal on an international flight. Service was good and they come by to clear plates and cups frequently. Personally I like the Virgin Atlantic Lounge better, but their hours and acceptance of Priority Pass is more limited than China Airlines Lounge. Not sure if this lounge has showers, but the Virgin Atlantic one does. Overall, it's a nice place to pass your time while waiting for your flight.

If you've been able to have access to the exclusive United Polaris Lounge at SFO, well, good for…read moreyou. One caveat though that Jamie W and I discovered was that if your flight leaves from International Area A, you're given access to this business class lounge instead. That's because it's a rather excessive 25-minute walk away from the United Polaris Lounge in International Area G. When we asked the check-in agent whether this lounge was comparable to Polaris, he gave it an 8 out of 10. He was being much too generous. It turned out to be a claustrophobic two-room space where ironically, the first-class room was more cramped than the general area. There were barely any outlets, and it was so tight that the rotating chairs kept banging into each other. There were three warmers of hot Chinese food, but none of it was that tempting. We managed to snack on stale cookies and diet soft drinks. There was a full staff operating here, but the experience didn't really warrant that level of attention. I think the next time, we'll just build in the extra time to get back and forth from Polaris if we really want the more ideal lounge experience. RELATED - Waiting at the airport?

This lounge was decent for priority pass…read more Came here around 9am and they had a pretty good hot breakfast spread, cereal, snacks, yogurts and fresh cut fruit in the fridge as well as a self serve bar. Nice view of the planes taking off and landing. There's a few tables reserved for business class but a good sized area for regular peeps like myself.

The food wasn't spectacular however there was something for everyone from snacks to fruit and light food to munch on. The decor wasn't anything special and was lacking charging station(s).

This is the only Delta Sky Club we've been to that happened to serve congee during our visit…read more Pretty cool. Then again, this is San Francisco. This is the only Delta Sky Club at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). It's located next to Gate C3 in Harvey Milk Terminal 1. We visited around 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM on a Sunday. During this time, the buffet changed from breakfast to lunch, so we got to try both menus. The congee was served during breakfast. Overall, we thought the food was good for Sky Club standards. The oranges here were much better than the oranges we had the same day at the Delta Sky Club in Atlanta (near Gate A17). This lounge did get quite crowded at one point and service was non-existent/not the best compared to many Sky Clubs we've been to in recent months. However, I understand that SFO is not a Delta hub and, therefore, the airport does not have multiple Sky Clubs and just this one is not as big as, say, the ones in Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. Aesthetically, this lounge is modern and generally on par with Sky Clubs at other non-Delta-hub airports. It opened on September 16, 2015.

This is a dainty lounge located closer to my Cathy Pacific terminal …read more It is smaller but the ambiance felt relaxing, comfortable and more private . It has different types of tables and corners for you to choose from. A wall TV for the news . Hot tea , coffee and the full bars were all free . However, there was a bar code menu on each table . You could scan and ordered more hot food and items with a fee. Self served area had good salad , tuna salad sandwiches, turkey and cheese sandwiches, fresh fruits , snacks and cookies . We had coffee and one glass of champagne. Nice and quick customer service. They clean the tables and replenish the food very quickly. You could pay a fee to take a shower . I like it was smaller and different from the other bigger lounger with a lot of traffic . Perfect place to check e mail or read a book, take a nap , eat some breakfast or lunch and dinner . Lovely lounge .

Ok overall. I…read moredon't like that you can purchase a day pass, or get in with credit card access. It makes it very crowded at times (tho this visit wasn't as bad), and not at all special. Food is ok. Just your typical average lounge food. I will say I do really like their oatmeal cookies though. The layout and smaller rooms are nice. I'd come if I had some extra time before a flight, but not a lounge I really look forward to spending time in.

Hubby & I dropped in a couple of weeks ago…read more There's a very inviting bar with a great mixologist. He was very personable and knew a lot about San Francisco where we reside. Food wise - more offerings than the other United lounges. There's a sit down restaurant onsite also. I heard the hostess ask for proof of your boarding pass. I wonder why. You already had to show it up at the front desk. It was our first experience in the Polaris lounge. If we're flying Polaris again we'll have to try the sit down restaurant onsite.

Staff unsure on orders in restaurant. Club is as crowded and overcrowded as regular clubs. View is horrible. I've been to several Polaris clubs and this is the worst one that I've been to.

Nice to see some local drinks on the menu!
