Top-Ranked US Airport Lounges Now Accessible Through Luxury Credit Cards
The top-ranked U.S. airport lounges are accessible to those who hold luxury credit cards from American Express, Chase, and Capital One.
American Express's Centurion Lounges tied for first place with Capital One's Lounges in JD Power's 2026 U.S. Airport Lounge Satisfaction Study, while the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club came in third.
To access these premium lounges, one needs a luxury credit card with an annual fee of at least $395, such as the American Express Platinum Card or the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.
The Delta SkyMiles Reserve Business American Express Card and the Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card offer limited-time increased welcome bonuses that make them valuable for loyal Delta flyers, particularly with their current offers of 200,000 miles and two domestic round-trip Delta Comfort Flight Certificates after spending $20,000 in purchases within six months.
Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders receive unlimited complimentary access to all nine Chase Sapphire Lounges for themselves and up to two guests.
