A Chase Sapphire Lounge has officially landed in the Lone Star State, as a new 18,000-square-foot location officially opens on July 16 at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — and TPG just got an early peek inside.

Once you start exploring the space, you can't miss that this is one of Chase's larger lounges , measuring just behind locations at New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), which clock in at 21,000 and 20,000 square feet, respectively. In fact, this makes it the largest of the multiple credit card lounge options at DFW.

And inside all that space, you'll find plenty of things to get excited about, starting with a first-of-its-kind dedicated whiskey lounge with guided tastings and a custom barrel selection exclusive to this lounge.

But don't worry if whiskey isn't on the menu for your trip. There's plenty more to do at the new Sapphire Lounge at DFW, including booking a complimentary facial, letting the kids play in the family room, freshening up with a shower or rest pod, or, of course, filling up on some Texas-inspired dishes.

Here's what you need to know about the new Sapphire Lounge at DFW:

You'll enter the new Chase Sapphire Lounge at DFW from the concourse level to check in and then take the elevators to the lounge's main level above the concourse. There you'll find plenty of the lounge network's traditional use of "sapphire" blue, along with greenery, brass and warm tones. There is some natural light, but no real runway views as you mostly just get a view of the entrance to the terminal below.

While the lounge is somewhat narrow, it is quite long, with multiple unique spaces that make it feel like a series of connected rooms in an otherwise open space.

If you have time on your side, you can book a complimentary 30-minute facial treatment at Face Haus that includes an AI-powered skin analysis to help the estheticians determine the best treatment for your skin.
