The Good
- Only lounge option at SAT, making it a welcome refuge from the crowded gate areas
- Priority Pass access makes it easy to get in with most premium travel credit cards
- Generally uncrowded compared to lounges at larger Texas airports
The Bad
- Small space with limited seating, maybe 35 seats total
- Food options are basic snacks rather than anything substantial
- No showers or premium amenities
Pro Tips
- Since this is the only lounge at SAT, it can fill up during early morning departures. Arrive within 15 minutes of security clearing to get a seat.
- The chicken tortilla soup is the best food item available and is freshly made. It appears around 11:00 AM and is worth timing your visit around.
- The pecan pralines are a local Texas touch and make a good takeaway snack for your flight. Grab a couple before you leave.
- If you are flying out on a Sunday evening after a Spurs game or River Walk weekend, expect the lounge to be busier than usual. Plan for standing room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the only lounge at San Antonio Airport?
Yes. The Club SAT in Terminal B is the only lounge option. It is accessible with Priority Pass, LoungeKey, and Diners Club, or via a walk-in purchase of $45.
Can I access this from Terminal A gates?
Yes. Terminals A and B are connected post-security. Walk through the connecting corridor, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes from the farthest Terminal A gates.
Is it worth the $45 walk-in fee?
If you have a long wait and want free drinks plus a quieter environment, yes. The gate areas at SAT are not particularly comfortable, so the lounge is a meaningful upgrade even with basic amenities.
