Time to read min

    San Diego is a city known for its sunshine, sand and surf. If you’re traveling through San Diego International Airport (SAN), you may be looking for a way to bring some of that beachy relaxation into your time at the airport. For members of Priority Pass™ in San Diego, there are a few different amenities you could explore to potentially make your travels more comfortable.

    Priority Pass lounges at SAN

    If you’re looking to relax in a lounge, there’s one lounge in Terminal 2 that offers access to Priority Pass members.

    Aspire Lounge

    • Location: The Aspire Lounge is located after the east security checkpoint in Terminal 2. Once you pass the checkpoint, take a left and you’ll find the lounge between gates 33 and 23.
    • Details: Guests are allowed to stay for three hours maximum. Access may be restricted if the lounge gets crowded due to space constraints.
    • Amenities: Complimentary Wi-Fi, shower facilities, refreshments, up-to-date flight information, comfortable seating, airfield views—plus alcohol and menu options available for purchase.

    While there are other lounges in the San Diego airport, Aspire Lounge is the only lounge at this airport that is in the Priority Pass network. However, there are a couple other amenities for Priority Pass members to explore.

    How to get Priority Pass membership

    To enjoy access to these San Diego airport amenities, you may want to become a Priority Pass member. One way to do this is by purchasing a membership directly through Priority Pass. Travelers can choose between three different membership plans.

    If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve® credit card or are interested in applying for one, you may be eligible for complimentary Priority Pass Select™ membership as a credit card benefit (note that the card has an annual fee). This membership level is not available for purchase; it’s specifically for customers of a U.S. bank or financial institution.

    Cardmembers can activate Priority Pass Select membership by logging into their Chase account. After a one-time activation, they will receive their membership card. Learn more about Chase Sapphire Reserve’s travel benefits to find out if it could be a good credit card for you.

    In summary

    Whether you’re at the beach or at the airport, you can try and make your time in San Diego as relaxing as possible. If you’re just passing through SAN, you may want to explore Priority Pass amenities like the Aspire Lounge or Be Relax Spa. It might just feel like a mini vacation.
