SFO
24 airport lounges in
San Francisco International Airport
San Francisco, US
Our take: Airline lounges lead while the Centurion is temporary
- AmEx Centurion: The permanent Terminal 3 Centurion Lounge is closed for construction until an expected 2027 reopening. The temporary Terminal 2 lounge has persistent lines and weaker food, so have a backup.
- Best premium option: United Polaris has sit-down dining, showers, and daybeds, but it is frequently packed. Join the dining waitlist early.
- Priority Pass: The Club SFO is the main traditional option, though crowding persists and the food has slipped. A Gates choices are weaker, and Virgin’s order-to-seat food is limited during Priority Pass hours.
- Terminal 1: Alaska Lounge is the oneworld pick and a better Priority Pass choice if you qualify, but Priority Pass entry requires a same-day Alaska or partner boarding pass plus a $15 fee. Delta Sky Club is a solid domestic option.
- Useful detour: Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge in Terminal 2 has better food, showers, and a patio, and is worth considering over the basic United Clubs in E/F/G.
