*The Catch* If you've used any other Chase Sapphire lounge…read morewithin a year on your Priority Pass, you can't get in, so save your 1/yr for this one!! It's tucked in Terminal B's central airside hall (take a non-obvious hallway to an elevator that brings you up to level 4). As soon as you arrive, scan the table's QR code and sign up for the complimentary 20-min facial (it was my first one - so relaxing)! Note if you're taller than say ~5'9" though, the downside is the chair is not built for taller folks, so there ends up not being lumbar support (stuff a jacket behind your back). Background: This is the top lounge I've been to by far - exceeded my expectations and lived up to the hype! Here's aspects that makes it special: - The Vibe & Design - 2-floors of seating that boast a tastefully chic Manhattan hotel ambiance. Gorgeous 360-degree central bar. Sleek, modern, and warm design. - Food & Drinks - *QR Code Menu at Each Table*: Can order warm dishes delivered straight to your table. The fried chicken sandwich with fries and chicken tenders were both spot-on in crispness and juiciness. *Buffet Station*: impressive individually plated appetizers, fresh bowls, and desserts, especially the burrata with marinated peppers and summer herbs! Light yet rich and flavorful. *Coffee*: The coffee machine makes great decaf oat-milk capp's and lattes. There's also cold brew on tap. - The Amenities - Beyond comfortable seating and abundant power outlets, there's solid Wi-Fi speeds. I can see exactly why this top lounge is limited to once a year - savor it!

So im writing this review as a priority pass card holder. I arrived 4 hours before our flight so we…read morecan experience this lounge. We arrived a little after 2:30pm and probably checked in at around 3pm. When I say that having the priority pass you are pretty much the bottom of their priority. Priority definitely wasn't a priority for this location. We didn't get in until about 5:15-5:30pm already. 2 1/2 hours of wait. I personally think they need to change their set up here where after 10 credit card members let one priority pass member in or something. Once we got in we went downstairs and checked in and gave our membership. I ran in to some minor issues where my qr code wasn't working for my priority pass but I had my actual member card which eventually worked. Once we were in there was an array of selection for food, dessert, drinks and drinks from the bar. You can order food on their qr code which is all included in your membership. Honestly, besides the long wait everything else was great once you get inside. All the food, drinks and snacks were all great. Customer service was amazing as well.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I was super excited to visit this capital one lounge mainly because the other times I tried to come here, they were either closed (due to a unforeseen fire incident) or my flight was about to leave. The space opens up into the bagel and coffee bar near the front where you can order your bagel fresh to order. Then you can either turn left or right and both have plenty of seating. If you turn right, you eventually get led to the bar and can post up for your flight. There are QR codes at every table where you can order a la carte your meals. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, this is probably my favorite capital one lounge in their network. If this is all you read, all you need to know is to visit the bagel bar.

It's a spacious lounge with plenty of seating, shower suites, and a solid selection of food and beverages. That said, I noticed in my visits that a lounge of this size can still feel overwhelmed during peak travel periods. Just outside the lounge, the United Airlines 100th-anniversary exhibit offers a fun trip down memory lane, tracing the evolution of air travel and giving a glimpse into United's history. I enjoyed my visit overall and particularly appreciated having access to the shower suites when I needed one. The only disappointment was that the hot water wasn't working quite as well as it should have. Nonetheless, it was a welcome amenity and a nice way to freshen up before a flight. Highly recommend!

United Club - C123 (Newark Airport)…read more This is one of the most modern and beautiful United Lounges I've visited. Debuted, May 2022. The largest United Club location for United Airlines. It spans 30,000 Square Feet. Comfortably accommodating over 400 travelers. LOUNGE: Hats off to who designed and built this lounge. It shows how much passion and love they put into this 30,000 SQFT project. The way to get to this lounge is go past C123 gate and up the escalator. Depending on peak hours, by the entrance, you may have to form a line. Once you enter, the first thing you'll see is a large book shelf with table in front of it. Go past those shelves to the left and through the hallway. This is where all your main lounge will be. Your eyes may get wide and you may feel slightly overwhelmed of how much space there is, like I did. They offer so much seating that you're sure to find a spot to unwind, relax or get some work done. Throughout the space, they have large windows to allow natural lighting. Some of the seating faces the windows for you to enjoy watching the planes. The space was exceptionally clean. I didn't see any trash laying around. The staff did a wonderful job coming up to the guests that finished with their dishes and asked, "May I take that from you?" FOOD: I was on a six hour layover here and I was able to enjoy breakfast and lunch. I have to say, for a lounge that can accommodate over 400 travelers, they were on top of it. They kept bring hot breakfast items. They offered variety of options including healthy options. I prefer eating healthy and some of the other locations don't offer good healthy options. Here, you have turkey sausage and links with egg whites. They have a large space for your breakfast sandwiches, wraps and fresh fruit. A yogurt and oatmeal area with all your toppings available. I didn't get a chance to stay too long for lunch, but I was able to see if they serve good lunch and they did. They offered chicken with penne pasta and many other options. For lunch, they also offered healthy options. Hot beverages are available through their Coffee machines or you can ask at the bar for any additional drink options. Good food options here, overall. SHOWER SUITES: This location offers multiple suites for you to take a shower before or after your long flight. I was able to take a nice shower after my long flight to Newark, and it was so refreshing. The suite was clean, offering good amounts of towels. They provide complimentary, Perricone MD Shower Gel, Conditioner and Soap. Overall, this is a great feature to have at this club. Not all United Club locations offer shower rooms. STAFF: After visiting multiple United Club locations, I would have to say the entire staff working here are just absolutely amazing. They are so helpful and kind, regardless if this is your first visit or you're experienced traveler. Any questions you may have about the space, or flight information, they are here to assist you with a genuine smile. If you just need someone to talk to, they're happy to spike up a conversation with you. OVERALL: If you're traveling domestically or internationally with one of the Star Alliance members, this is a great place to unwind, relax while you're waiting for your departure. I've been at this lounge several times and I am looking forward to continue my visits.

This review is for the brand new Sky Club lounge at gate A8. This opened on July 25th 2023. It's a…read moregreat addition because the lounge in gate area B, although huge is often extremely busy. It often has a line to get in. This new lounge is much smaller but very nicely designed. There are different kinds of seating and it was relatively empty when I went- I believe not everyone knows about the lounge yet. The food was the same basic food as the larger lounge in B but it does not have all the extras, such as a live pasta station or a Nathan's hotdog stand. So if you're needing more peace and quiet, this is the place to be. It has a beautiful central bar and plenty of complimentary drink choices. They even have Starbucks on tap here! I'm really pleased to have this new lounge which is far more peaceful and relaxed.

I really like my Chase Sapphire Reserve (CSR) credit card. Even with its high annual fee, there…read moreare enough credits/rebates to make up for the fee, especially if one travels a lot. Like other high-end travel cards, the CSR gives complementary membership to Priority Pass (PP). Unfortunately, there just aren't that many great PP options domestically for the airports that my wife and I travel to (through). The best use of the membership has been getting free snacks/drinks from a Gameway at our home airport (LAX)..and occasionally a free chair massage when traveling through ATL. Well, with this initial visit to this lounge (first one to any Sapphire Lounge), I've now gone to a really good domestic lounge, not affiliated with AMEX or Delta. It was impressive, especially since it didn't cost extra. Chase has partnered with Airport Dimensions (owners of 'The Club' branded set of airport lounges across the U.S.) to open the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge Network (only nine lounges so far). Airport Dimensions is owned by the Collinson Group, which also owns Priority Pass (the biggest airport lounge system in the world). This lounge is located in Terminal 4 at JFK, on the upper mezzanine, right next door to the AMEX Centurion Lounge (which my wife and I had visited on our last trip to NYC in 2023). There was one attendant manning the desk, and he let us in after scanning our membership QR code and boarding passes. We were able to find seats, and realized that it wasn't too crowded. We got there just as breakfast was ending (10:45...not too much of a selection yet). There was a breakfast buffet, and the bar was open. Got their specialty cocktail (a Sapphire Spritz made with vodka)....realized later that almost everyone else was ordering their drink through the Sapphire website (accessible by scanning a table specific QR code), getting it hand delivered right to their table. Delivery to table is a great feature of this lounge, differentiating it from competitors like Centurion and Sky Club. Once lunch opened up, more menu items became available, including a Sapphire Burger with Fries, with a decent ability to customize. My wife and I ended up separately ordering a burger and fries, and I got their two local beers on tap: TALEA Beer Co. Watermelon Splash Sour Ale and a Coney Island Brewing Co. Mermaid Pilsner. Everything got delivered per order in decent time, and the waiter was pleasant about it. The beers were great, and the burger was good quality...would have perfectly satisfied with the dish at a burger restaurant. The fries were decent, too. There is a self-service soda machine on the premise. I did try checking out the washrooms, and saw that there just isn't that many stalls for a lounge this size. After finishing our beers, we left the lounge in plenty of time to mosey to our departing gate. By the time we left, there was a line that had formed outside the lounge to get in...so they must use a strict queue to maintain the amount of people at the lounge to be under the maximum seating. That being said, I recognize that much of the experience depended on the lounge not being packed, so we got lucky (coming on a Thursday just before lunch started and leaving a bit after noon). I've read that Chase will be changing admission rules. Today, any PP member can enter the lounge once a year. Starting August 15, only members with an eligible card (like the CSR) will be able to enter. Can't wait when they open the new Sapphire Lounge (scheduled for late this year) at LAX! Might make me reconsider maintaining my Delta Reserve AMEX card.

In December 2025, I used a chase sapphire reserve card to enter. I came from another terminal to…read moreuse this lounge. I had to wait five minutes in line to enter the waitlist which itself took another 45 minutes. people were sitting outside the lounge waiting for their turn which didn't feel very premium. inside the lounge was very crowded and the attendant had difficulty finding me a spot, but I was able to spot an empty seat for myself. the food was really good, but that was about it for the lackluster "premium" experience. dont go to this lounge in the afternoons because it's too crowded and it's a hassle to come all the way to terminal 4 just for this lounge since you have to go through security again. there is no pathway or air train that connects the terminals on the secured side. there was a bar where I've seen great reviews on but I only had 10 minutes because I needed to leave to re clear security at the other terminal my flight departed from. Part of the reason for the lackluster experience is that this is a lounge ran by Ethiad that contracts for chase sapphire reserve. Ethiad customers have no waitlist. And if you are normal priority pass you have no chance making it in on the afternoons. Expect to get turned away aa I saw some people were. The lounge was pretty and aesthetically pleasing though.

The lounge is spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating, and everything was clean and well maintained. There are two buffet areas, plus a separate coffee and dessert/ice cream bar on the upper level. I found the food to be surprisingly flavorful for an airport lounge, and I also appreciated that kosher meals are available upon request. If you have time before your flight, don't miss the 1850 Speakeasy tucked inside the lounge. It's a fun addition and serves well-crafted specialty cocktails in a more intimate setting. One of my favorite features was the view overlooking the tarmac. It's a great place to relax while watching the constant flow of aircraft taxiing and taking off. Overall, an excellent lounge experience and one we'd happily visit again.

Nothing fancy, but basic lounge that allows you to hang out and relax until your flight is ready to board. They had some food and drink options, and since it was the morning time, they mostly had breakfast type food. I was surprised to see some cup noodles there. I somehow enjoy having a cup noodle at an airport lounge. They had typical drink offerings like coffee, soda, juice, etc. Again, nothing fancy but basic items that I expected to see at an airport lounge. They did have some hot and cold food though, such as turkey bacon, eggs, crudité, yogurt, etc. I thought they had a nice option of different type of food. Something for everyone. They have alcoholic beverage, such as bee and wine. The Primelounge has the flight information on the screens on the wall, so you can keep your eye on your flight status. It is also disabled access, so a traveler on a wheelchair and such can access the ground easily.

Entry is either with a priority boarding pass or a flat fee of $55. JFK services always seem to be a little tatty, even in the new terminals.

This lounge is nicer than the rest of the terminal but feels a little stripped down, with a few stray napkins on the floor etc Service was also somewhat brusque and unfriendly. Smiles are free. It's odd for a lounge not have a restroom inside the lounge. Food was excellent. Both cold and hot items were uniformly well prepared and tasty.

As soon as I sat down at a table staff came over and asked if I'd like any drinks to start. When I mentioned cucumber seltzer they brought it out with a glass of ice right away. Their venison burger was tasty and filling with fresh tomato, lettuce, cheese, pickles and a brioche bun. The fries that came with it were the chunky kind and more wedge-like, not very crispy, though I was hungry and polished off about half of them with ketchup. Duck tostada was a nice (several) bite(s), a little muddled in flavor though ingredients were fresh and I enjoyed the crispy tortilla crunch. Of course I had to get a dark chocolate pistachio cookie to go too! To correct some misinformation from recent reviews want to mention that this lounge has limited hours for Priority Pass from 5:00am-13:30pm, however full hours are until 23:30pm for balance travelers. Most of my stops here are usually in the afternoon/early evening on weekdays, I haven't seen it very packed, with exception of maybe once or twice. Also haven't tried their breakfast menu so can't comment on that. Will say that after coming here a few years starting to notice some wear on the furniture, perhaps some could use a bit of re-upholstery. Chase and Delta lounges have newer furniture though I'd prefer not to wait in line for entry.
