Chase's airport lounge network is about to get a little smaller. The issuer has confirmed that its Sapphire Lounge by The Club at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) — the very first location to debut in the Sapphire Lounge portfolio — will shut its doors early next year.
Chase has not yet provided details about why the lounge is closing or whether a replacement space is being considered. At this point, there is no indication that the shutdown is temporary or part of a planned relocation — only that the lounge will leave the Sapphire Lounge network in early January.
After Jan. 5, travelers accustomed to stopping by the lounge will lose one of the more comfortable premium lounge options at the airport, meaning cardholders will need to look to other lounges at HKG. But the good news is that Hong Kong International is one of the most lounge-rich airports in Asia.
