Wow finally a good lounge in terminal 1!
It's an awesome lounge!
Lololol
Besides The Admirals club but finally don’t have to be flying AA
Finally regular priority pass upgrading and adding lounges
🌳 This is the best PP lounge I've ever seen in the US... by a lot! If I were based out of SFO I'd go there over the Centurion lounge everytime
Agree!
My main hub is SFO, so will definitely check this out
It's definitely the best Priority Pass option at SFO by a landslide!
@@AskSebby Thanks for making the video. And just in time for me with my new Chase SR, and my upcoming trip in November!
@@AskSebbywhat about Amex lounge in SFO?
Thanks so much for the through review of the lounge Sebastian. Was so great meeting you and chatting with you yesterday and really appreciate you coming out to capture such great coverage!
Thanks, Chris! The team did an amazing job. Can't wait to check out more Club lounges in the future! :)
Great video, Sebby! Glad to know the new lounge at SFO. Thank you.
Thanks for this video-great timing since I’ve been planning to visit this club in a few days.
Excellent tour! Thank you.
Thank you for the video sir. Greatly appreciated 🙏🏾.
What a great lounge! Excellent review sir!!
This is probably your best video yet...I'm from the Bay so can't wait to fly out of SFO...
Looking forward to checking it out soon.
🌳thanks for the detailed review!
🌳amazing PP lounge ,thanks Sebby for a wonderful experience .
6/30/24 i went into the Club of PP CHECK IN is easy and space is plenty. My WestJet was an early flight so plenty of space and breakfast. Then my flight was delayed. How sweet to be able to get back in for another rest. People are super nice they let me back in instead of waitlist for 30-40 minutes! I’ll be back many times. Love CSR and Priority Pass. Thank Sebby!
What a fantastic lounge! I’ll be in SFO next month! 🌳
About to fly into and out of SFO this weekend. I’m so excited to check this out!!
Enjoy! :)
Great. I can enjoy some good time before my spirit airlines flight!
Looks beautiful🌳
Hey Sebby thanks for the video! Quick question, what mic are you using??
Great video, I've watch a lot of your videos. Did not know you were 5'11 / 6'0. Very cool hot take. I'm 6'7" and love what you do with credit cards and travel. Keep it up you are motivating the heck out of me. 🌳
🌳hey pretty cool lounge, nice thorough review, thanks
🌲Nice. Next time I fly out of Terminal 1, need to check out!
🌲 based in sf and so happy it's finally opened. The club is on a roll with this lounge and the JFK sapphire by the club lounge. I was just there this morning for opening and breakfast around 10 am. Beautiful decor and fast, tasty made to order food in terminal 1 = S tier lounge. Definitely first day pains with so many people, the front desk and help desk were unable to tell me what the amenities were, and the breakfast menu was truncated (ran out?) but I overheard the management team plotting how to streamline everything. Very hopeful
🌴 nice tour, I loved the in depth experience, I like to try out different lounges, and it’s nice to get a preview. I have recently been in the sapphire lounges at JFK LGA and BOS they are each so different. LGA had the best vibe. I tried LHR lounges the food was trash MCO is good, can’t wait to try SFO after your video!
I’ll be flying outta SFO in a few days. Will try to give it a go. Thanks Sebby.
Beautiful! When will they get something at LAX?! 🌳
🌳 Another Great video 🎉
I live in San Francisco and relatively new to travel reward points so this is great news!
Flying out of SFO on Monday might have to check it out 😮
Enjoy! :)
I’m flying this Sunday, T1. early but I’ll check it out! Thanks Sebby.
Me too. Flying with United on Monday morning and will give this a try. :)
I'm actually flying out of SFO tomorrow I'll check it out! 🌳
The cool ceilings are called coffered with the recessed panels. The back lighting puts a nice mood.
🌳This is such a nice looking lounge! Definitely better looking than other flagship lounges
PHX could use some lounge upgrade, maybe expand on their existing ones
Thanks for sharing Sebby! I will plan to visit this lounge soon!
🌳 Looks nice!
That’s an awesome lounge especially for being unaffiliated with any airline. It kind of reminds me of the new Sky Club at LAX. Which I’m at right now, watching your video.
Thanks for this video. I'll be in SFO next month and will definitely visit this lounge. I fly Delta and have been to both the Centurion and Delta lounges at SFO and this seems to blow them away. Centurion is an odd layout. The Delta lounge is fine but this one looks more interesting.
Do you know the guest policy for Amex Platinum priority pass?
The Club at SJC is also very solid, by the way!
Oh, Sebby, you did too great a job!! I'm in SFO. The Club has a 35-40 min wait!!
Great Lounge for SFO ... would love it if they opened one in LGA / New York City !
Which card/card combo would you recommend for a soon-to-be solo traveler who couldn't care less about lounges and hotels/fancy stuff but is going backpacking for a year and just wants to get as much money back on flights/airbnb/other travel, dining and groceries and who would also use the card for all other purchases from a-z, and who never carries a card balance?
🌳 this will be our first introduction to priority pass on our way to Japan in October!
I mostly fly out of terminal 3, is it worth the hike over with Centurion Lounge so close? The food has never been great at CL and I love congee!
So happy to see this lounge after pp restaurants got taken away - Sebby do you know if they will restrict “unlimited” guests for VentureX or are they keeping it strictly to 2 guests for all priority pass?
This is great news! Just happened to be flying into/out of SFO next week🌲and I can't find the proper tree emoji
🌳 looks like an absolute winner! P2 flies through SFO, and I will share this review. Biggest concern is that it's probably going to be such a hit that it will be crowded, which is actually a good opportunity for visiting the other lounge options.
T1 is now also Alaska territory as of this month!
Your content is great but do you now live in various lounges?
🌳Reminds me a bit of the Chase Sapphire Lounge with the QR codes to order food, which is also operated by “The Club”. I wonder if they’re taking the concepts from there and bringing them to their core brand?
Anyways, happy to see The Club chain of lounges building a really nice lounge! Usually I have pretty middling expectations for The Club lounges but this actually looks competitive with Chase’s and Amex’s lounges.
Great lounge and it is par on the best business/first class lounges in the USA and way above the other lounges that flying members can enter via Lounge Buddy and Priority Pass. I just hope the SFO Club lounge will keep up its opening great quality of food and services past its first year.
🌲🌳🌴 I had NO idea it was that good. I often come through SFO on UA flights which is a good full walk on the other side but it looks worth it if I have a long enough layover. Puts the UA lounges to absolute shame. I have yet to exercise my Priority Pass card so I'll be sure to next time I'm through there. Thanks for the amazing review!
PHX is in need of a good lounge and CSR can't bring one fast enough.
Also LAX. The only good lounges in the system are at TBI, and that really only works if you're flying international -- the rest are so, so. It would be amazing if one of these style lounges could go on the Terminal 4,5,6,7,8 network side and another on the Terminal 1,2,3 side.
Any bets on when they start waitlisting people? I was there at 9am on the opening day (today) and it was jammed.
🌳 1) not bad (see you there next month. 😂)
2) now that PP restaurants are basically obsolete with CCs Portland really needs a PP lounge.
3. It looks a lot nicer than moat of the domestic PP lounges I've seen. (If you don't include Sapphire lounges in that) I've been to 3 Sapphire lounges and will add Boston and this lounge next month. Looking forward to it.
Mandee the Director yeaaaa
Oh all my years on the travel and credit card sphere, this video was the first time I've ever heard of LoungeKey 🤣 PP really has them beat
Could you do a video on Escape Lounges now extending to Priority Pass? I’m sure many have priority pass at smaller airports that it may benefit.
The Club has been upping their game. The newer one at LAS, while nowhere near as nice as this, is miles ahead of the old spot. 🌳
I’m not in the Bay Area a whole lot 🌳 but that looks beautiful! Hope to get something that decadent to compete with the Centurion in DFW.
Cool, I usually just go to the Virgin one in SFO. Atleast something new to try in August for me
How is the Virgin Lounge at SFO? I think that one is Plaza Premium accessible, correct? I've not needed to fly into/sortie SFO lately, but with these two options it seems better than LAX options.
@@ryanshannon6963 i think the Virgin Atlantic one is little better and has better food. If you need to take shower go there, you don't book it or anything.
Edit: yeah LAX is lacking for PP. Atleast Chase Sapphire lounge is coming.
Knowing Hawaiian Airlines located in International Terminal A and it’s a good walking distance to Terminal 1. Would check out this lounge out when flying out of SFO.
🌳 thank you for sharing! There are so many other airports that have really crappy lounges. I am so disappointed that Denver does not have a sapphire lounge or a Priority Pass lounge that I can use with my Chase Sapphire reserve. The United Club lounges in Denver are just. Meh
I know you have talked about skiing in Colorado. I would love to hear more about your experience at the Denver airport.
Have a great day! ❤️
We've visited the Denver Centurion lounge a few times. Good option when it's not too crowded.
Denver’s Capital One lounge is pretty nice
🌴this looks like a great option for terminal 1 - we just flew to JFK a few weeks ago and would have really loved to have this option. Had to go through security twice to use the centurion lounge since there were no real options in terminal 1. Hopefully this doesn't become too popular by the next time we fly out of SFO.
Good luck entering dfw C1 lounge
🌳 Beautiful lounge. DTW North Terminal could use a lounge like this. North Terminal houses everyone except Delta and most international airlines. The only lounge currently in the North Terminal is Lufthansa’s Senators Business Lounge. Keep the great videos coming👏🏾👍🏾
DTW is my home airport and severely lacking in the lounge department. It was the sole reason for me getting the Amex platinum.
That's the nicest "The club" that I've ever seen.
Hi Sebby, great video as always, this lounge is incredible! SFO is my main airport as well, so looking forward to checking this out next time I fly. I tend to fly United typically, so gonna have to arrange to show up even earlier than I usually do for my flight to fully take advantage though haha.
I recently put a tool together to help compare credit cards, and would love your feedback if you had a chance. I sent over an email some time back with some more details, and would be honored to hear your thoughts!
Looks amazing, also tried the QR code lol and it requires location services to be enabled
Haha, yup! That's why I was fine leaving it unblurred.
🌳I’m flying ANA first class from SFO to NRT in August. I have access to the Centurion Lounge, the Polaris Lounge and this new lounge. Which lounge should I go to? I’m usually flying with my young’s kids but this trip is solo.
Polaris. There's no other way to access that lounge.
Sebby you flying delta/skyteam anytime soon? that NYC looks crazy maybe the best I've seen in the us.
Maybe end of summer!
I was literally there Sunday morning and it wasn’t open yet damn
Did you see the Reddit thread about you yesterday? I wonder how drunk I’ll get from this video? 😂😂😂
The great thing about UA-cam is that there's a channel for everyone. I'm here for the aspirational travel. YMMV. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@AskSebby lol love it. I appriaicte your channels.
@@AskSebbylove your content screw Reddit!
Damn i wish theyd bring one to Denver
🌳🌳🌳 The complimentry priority pass we get from the amex platnium gets us in there at SFO? right?
Yes!
I took a United Flight out of SFO to Japan and there were zero Priority Pass lounges in the Terminal. Ended up spending $60 at a ok restaurant smdh
That’s something that I have been wondering, can you go to other terminals to enjoy the lounges and then comeback to get on the plane?
Yes! Earlier this month they opened walkways connecting all terminals airside at SFO
I think there's one Plaza Premium lounge in SFO (can't remember off the top of my head), but this lounge will help me in not further avoiding SFO when flying to Asia (if needed). AF/KLM are opening a new lounge at LAX and if that's Priority Pass/Plaza Premium accessible then I'll finally stop avoiding the two airports like the plague.
Which part of the airport was this located at?
🌳 Wait so they added the Virgin lounge in the international terminal again but this time without the a la carte menu??
Are there people who strategize extended stopovers for the sole purpose of being at a lounge for an extended amount of time? Can you do a video on this type of strategy if it exists?
🌳is the Club SFO intended more for domestic travelers. I’ll be flying next week on Zip Air. Maybe Amex lounge will be better for International travelers. Thanks for the video.
🌳Who else considered ordering food to table 65 but was too lazy to spoof your lat/long to pass the location check? Lounge looks niiiiiice!
🌳if only our airport PP is this nice
Have you heard of any plans of this type of lounge coming to LAX ? 🌲
Looks nice. Not quite as nice as the Chase Sapphire lounges at LGA or BOS, which The Club also operates, but somewhat similar. I think they've learned from their partnership with Chase.
Why would they have such a nice PP lounge? What’s the catch?
San Jose needs to get a huge renovation especially being closer to Silicon Valley. 😩 Looks great & I’ll check it out. But of course I’ll go to the Centurion & Delta.
San Jose needs those latter also! UGH! Come on now SJC get with it. It’s Silicon Valley!
I could’ve used this a month ago because even with centurion I had to go to my fourth choice.
We need something like this in LAX.
Hopefully the new Sapphire lounge will be just as nice!
And SEA
Still waiting for better options in LAX SAN LAS SEA
Great! I don't have to deal with bitchy service and bad food from other PP lounges at SFO. This is also my hub.🌳
🌲 Dang it, why don’t they have something this nice in the international terminal?! Coulda used that earlier this month. (Didn’t know International could access the other terminals, either.)
Do they charge for the booze?
Knowing Chase has partnered with The Club for Sapphire Lounges, I’m surprised they didn’t brand this.
Allocate 10-15 min to walk over. They finally completed construction, so all of the terminals are connected now.
this place is going to be packed
they need one in LAX
🌲1) this lounge looks great, the best "The Club" space yet. It might outcompete the Turkish IAD lounge for best Priority Pass lounges in the US.
2) PHL and ORD need better priority pass options. Major airports and your options are slim!
ORD especially needs better PP lounges. PHL at least has a Centurion lounge (and has a Sapphire lounge on the way)
Yes, definitely ORD
So, how is The Club actually good?
Looks a lot like a Sapphire Lounge.
F** we were there last week and it opened this week 😢😢
Nothing like showering at the airport. Thanks to sebby been able to shower at the airport in hong kong and singapore 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice!!
🌳nice! LAX 2025?
In a week it will become like a Costco lol
I want a place to put things in a lounge. Practical, not “experiential”. Those lounge chairs with no table are useless. The back room at the SFO Centurion is great, but small.
On this topic, I wish more lounges had lockers for bags. Capital One lounge at DFW for example has this and it's much more relaxed not having to navigate around people's bags or feel like you can't let your bag out of your sight
