Chase's portfolio of airport lounges continues to grow with the opening of two new outposts.
The issuer announced on Tuesday that its newest Sapphire Lounge by The Club is now open. As of Nov. 12, the location in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is welcoming travelers.
The next location to open, at San Diego International Airport (SAN), will open Friday, Dec. 6.
Furthermore, Chase also shared an updated timeline for when its three other upcoming domestic lounges will open. It includes:

Chase's new Phoenix outpost is in the South 1 Concourse of Terminal 4 near the gates for Southwest Airlines and American Airlines. The San Diego location will open in Terminal 2 West.
The issuer didn't host pre-opening tours in Phoenix, but it teased some of the top amenities that travelers can find in this new lounge, including panoramic tarmac views from large windows, a flagship bar and an indoor "patio" space in the airport's concourse area.
The lounge's dining offerings are served from a retrofitted Airstream food truck that is being catered by Phoenix's popular The Larder & The Delta restaurant. Coffee will be served from Arizona-based Press Coffee, while wine picks will be curated from Parcelle.
Note that this lounge measures just over 3,500 square feet, making it one of the smallest in the entire portfolio. At this size, I'd expect the Phoenix lounge to operate on a waitlist throughout the day. (It'll be open from 4:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily.)
Meanwhile, the San Diego outpost will measure just over 10,000 square feet and feature a wellness area with private rest pods, facial treatments from Face Haus and digital meditations from Devi Brown. There will also be a la carte dining options curated by San Diego's Oscar's Mexican Seafood and coffee from California's Groundwork Coffee.
In terms of design, Chase says that the new outpost is built to reflect the locale. With surfboards designed by a local muralist and a large digital wall displaying drone footage of the San Diego coastline, this lounge is poised to be unmistakably Southern Californian.

The San Diego location will be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
In addition to the airport lounges, Chase said that it'll debut a limited-time pop-up lounge in Las Vegas on Saturday, Nov. 16. The lounge, which will be located in Aria Resort & Casino, will offer food from Momofuku and cocktails from Apotheke. Note that this pop-up will exclusively be limited to Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardmembers.
