Disappointed. In case management reads this I can give you some pointers based on other airport lounges I have been to and really appreciated! 1. You need protein choices. This place is loaded with carbs and sugar choices. The only protein option on the menu was a chicken Cesar wrap which was pure arugula and dressing. Where's the chicken? 2. Adding choices of fresh fruit. Not necessarily pre cut but maybe some oranges, apples, grapes, bananas are all good options. 3. Adding hot items. American Express advertisement says there are hot items to order here. There are none. See photo of menu. Please inform American Express so they can update their records. No hot food here. Maybe this will come later after the remodel? 4. Good things: open space, airy and bright. Love the fact there is a ladies and mens restroom. Not all lounges have them. I really appreciate people wanting to work and they are working hard Also I saw a sign stating the lounge is under some improvements but it wasn't noticeable so maybe behind the scenes?
Nice lounge if you are going thru San Diego airport. I had a 3 hour layover and had to walk from terminal 1 to terminal 2 to access this lounge but it's totally worth the walk. Currently they are operating with limited hours, close at 1 pm. They offer a decent continental breakfast bagels, yoghurt, muffins, pastries, cereal, coffee machine that makes all kids of coffee, cappuccino is awesome! For Amex platinum card holders, you are allowed 2 guests plus card holder and each guest is given $10 voucher to use towards food and premium beverages. They have a good selection of complimentary wine (sparkling, Chardonnay and Cabernet) and beer. The sparkling Brut is great. They sell wraps and salad after 10.30 AM, so I could not use my vouchers towards food but I could splurge on some good duckhorn Chardonnay and hubby enjoyed old fashioned. Overall great experience, staff is very good.
And this is what you get while waiting for a flight . With some yummy cheese and crackers maybe 4 of them .YUMM!
Gets the job done. Friendly staff. Obviously not as spacious or amenities filled as Delta Sky Club or Amex Centerion Lounges. Amex Plat comes with 2 guest passes. Each person get $10 voucher for food or drinks at the bar. $10 gets you a cesear wrap. Free beers were coors or Miller. Plenty of snacks to grab.
It's a nice little haven from the hustle and bustle of the craziness, especially during holiday weekend. With the Chase Sapphire reserve card, you get free entry and 2 guests. Each person will get a $10 voucher for any premium food/drink. They have complimentary snacks, coffee, tea, and alcohol. The food isn't as bad as we expected and theres plenty of outlegs
Though this lounge offers meager food offerings, the staff are great. Comfortable seats though it can get busy at times. There is a bar and food available for purchase. But, we prefer to buy a sandwich outside in the terminal and bring it in. Then, drinks and coffee and cookies from the lounge.
Maybe it was slim pickings because I arrived 30 min prior to closing, but I was not impressed with the spread ( or lack there of) at this lounge. When I arrived at 945 P.M., there were cookies, a few cheese cubes, and a few apples out for the taking. The coffee and tea station was stocked.. offering French vanilla creamers, chamomile tea, and chai teas. I was offered a $10 dining credit to the lounge as a perk of my Amex card. I spent this on an $11 glass of wine which came out to $11.18. I tried to pay cash but this lounge only takes card.. which isn't an inconvenience but just something to note. All the macarons in other yelp photos looked tempting. To my dismay though, each macaron is 2.25$, and rather small. Overall, it's a clean lounge. I will definitely come here again at a more reasonable hour and see if the spread has expanded. I'm also tempted to try the food off the menu!
Great space, clean, nice natural light with the floor to ceiling windows and view of the tarmac. You can get in with one world, British airways, and Platinum American Express (maybe delta too). Note: no priority pass access. With the Platinum amex entry, you get up to 2 additional guests with you. Each person gets a $10 food and beverage credit. You're allowed to order any food item to go. Alcoholic beverages are not free. There is also a station of snacks and coffee / tea. The snacks include crackers, cheeses, some veges, but nothing substantial as a meal, so that's where the food menu comes in and you can order food for $10 or less.
I am very disappointed with the San Diego airspace lounge. Having traveled all over the world and experiencing different Clubs and other airlines lounges this one just does not even come close. The entrance is cold and not welcoming. It is brightly lit and has uncomfortable seating. It is difficult to find a comfortable spot to work. The wrap I ordered was soggy and did not taste good. The snacks are minimal, some machines that dispense a combo of pretzels and nuts, some fruit, some cheese. The service is spotty, sometimes they acknowledge you and other times you will stand and wait while they talk to others. Time is precious when you are connecting flights, so I found the lack of customer service unprofessional. This lounge needs a facelift and some customer service training, as well as a menu change. Tried again and even worse. The person taking the money used same gloves to make food. Floor was dirty. Cheese was scraps.
At 8 AM, nice quiet space. Wifi, some complimentary drinks. With Priority Pass you get a $10 voucher to be used toward food or premium drinks.
There are a few things that I find myself not exactly a pro at. I don't really know airport lounges. It took me a while to figure out as a permanent gold member, you can use star alliance gold lounges like the Senator lounge in DC. As an Amex Platinum card member you can get into lounges beyond Centurion and PriorityPass, such as this one. Thankfully for every damsel in distress there is a knight in shining armor to guide her through airport confusion courtesy of the Point's Guy's abbreviated introduction course. While I was still in uber talking to my colleague, I got a text from a friend who was telling me where to go after arriving at the airport. "By gate 33. Very nice. Like an European lounge." The text message says. It did not tell me that Amex Platinum members can use it. He had assumed that I knew. I figured I'd have to pay $20 to get in but I would be wrong. It's free for Amex Platinum cardholders, of which I'm a loyal fan. European lounges are often white background, clean lines, sparse, simple, functional and efficient. Except for first class or the Senator lounge at Frankfurt. But this is more like a typical small sized intra Europe lounge, but bigger and brighter (because Americans like things big and bright). $10 gift card towards purchases. A glass of champagne seemed appropriate plus a macaron, which set you back exactly $10. Lots of power outlets. Good coffee machine. Ice water and soda water. cheeses and veggies. Perfect, really, as I am on a carb free sugar free diet. Internet speed is decent. AT&T cell coverage not. I worked until the said friend was leaving to catch his Virgin while I waited for my United. We kissed goodbyes like the Europeans would do. We were quiet like a mouse just like the Europeans. I continued with my work and conference calls until it's time to go. A good place to cool your heels and get a lot of work done between flights. European style attire completely optional.
Pleasant experience. The food choices is very lacking. Recently flew out of this terminal and was able to stop by this lounge for a little bit of time while waiting for my flight. The whole place was super clean and well organized. The floor to ceiling windows is super nice too, love the view. They do have a nice espresso coffee machine that makes fancy coffee drinks. The only downside is the food was not good at all. There was only some bagels and and chips. Alcohol drinks are not included. They did give me a $10 voucher to purchase food and alcoholic drinks. That's was helpful. Although some food are only available during certain times and I couldn't get most items in the morning hours. Service was very nice. read more
Kind of provides the bare minimum to any of the Centurion Lounges i've been to, (i think this was once one before) but i was still thankful this is here and it accepts Amex holders. It is spacious, hardwood floors, lots of natural light. They had mimosas which were good, and simple breakfast foods like bagels, cream cheese, oatmeal, cottage cheese, yogurt, also a coffee/espresso machine. For lunch time they had plenty of salads, salami and turkey meat, with a bunch of snack toppings, olives, sun dried tomatoes, veggies, a fruit bowl, soup for a bit, yeh but i think it ran out quickly. I still enjoyed staying here instead of the terminal gate esp bc my flight got delayed by an hr or so. I had to come all the way from terminal 1 tho which was inconvenient but still worth. Note: i arrived around 9am and by the time i left around noon, the line was very long to get in. read more

Man, we really should've trained for that half marathon.... we say that every time, but never seem to learn *cues hobbling through the airport terminal* We dropped by an hour before boarding our flight to the Bay Area using the Amex Platinum card recently, and since it was a late flight, the lounge was half full at best on a Sunday evening. After living all these years on SD, I can finally check off an SD airport lounge off my list of lounges to try. Slim pickings, but I'll take what I can get! Clean interior with plenty of seating due to the later time, no doubt. Some of the outlets weren't working, but there's outlets at every seat, so there's plenty that work. There "free" snacks were pretty limited, such as a some cheeses, saltine crackers, carrots, two cookies, limited tea, etc. Amex Plat provides a $10 voucher per guest, but bear in mind that the limited menu was average. We chose the breakfast sandwich and the charcuterie board, which were alright, but not worth paying for if required. Overall, decent lounge if you're not flying Delta, as the DL Sky Clubs are nicer. It's a nice place to relax if your flights is delayed and you have some time to kill. Cheers! read more

I would suggest this barely counts as a lounge, on the level with United , Admirals Clubs or Centurion lounges. Food selection included is bare minimums and there are definite issues verbalized between staff members. Being out in the terminal is superior to this lounge. Not only for the lack of amenities, but but the furniture is bare and disgusting...see photos of crevices from chairs... read more
The one thing that is a true stand out at this lounge is probably the best bartender I've ever seen working at an airport lounge. People were lining up for his martinis. When he started shaking that drink it was like hearing the sound of my mothers voice. Otherwise, it's a pretty basic lounge with a very limited food selection. It is kind of strange because depending upon what airline you are flying your complementary food and drink choices vary. We were flying American Airlines therefore we were limited to pretty simple snacks. So we skipped the food and just had a few drinks made with cheap wholesale alcohol that you can't buy in stores. read more
I was walking around the terminal area and saw this sigh about this lounge offering complimentary access for Amex card holders. I decided to give it a shot and it was worth it. I was given a $10 complimentary card and that covered my Buffalo Chicken Wrap. I drank for free because I happened to overhear the bartender informing someone that there is complimentary Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. This was a relaxing way to await my flight. read more
This particular lounge is long overdue and is not a bad spot to hang out, grab a drink and a couple of snacks before a long flight. This place essentially honors British Airways and American premium passengers and servers as the admirals club in San Diego. The snack selection is fairly limited, bartenders are decent and the amenities are not up to par with typical lounges, but is much better than San Diego has historically had. Overall, not the best lounge but not terrible either. Pros- Location- terminal 2 Seating Wifi Lots of plugs etc Cons- Limited snacks Average bartenders Small read more
The airspace Lounge located at San Diego International Airport just around the corner from gate 33. I believe it is open to anybody that wants to pay a $35 entry fee or free entry with an American Airlines Admirals Club membership or American Express Platinum Card. I entered using my American Express Platinum Card and was given a cash card worth $10 to purchase food or alcoholic beverages. At the self serve complimentary station, there were oranges, apples, cookies and the usual snack mix. It was also a self-serve soda fountain gun and coffee / espresso machine. The bar served hot and cold foods such as yogurt and fruits, croissant breakfast sandwiches, soup, and my favorite the antipasto platter. The antipasto platter head two kinds of meats, cheese, bread, and marinated beans. It was an $8 item but free with the cash card. The lounge also has a shower and provides a very nice amenity kit. It's a great Lounge to use before your departure or as an arrivals Lounge. read more
Should you pay to use this lounge? Heck yeah and here's why: 1) Part of your entry includes a credit for food and drink. 2) Free coffee, soda, and tea 3) Free snacks 4) Never a wait at the bar 5) Plenty of seats 6) There are outlets everywhere so you won't have to fight to charge your electronics 7) It's quiet so you can relax or work 8) TVs, newspapers, and magazines 9) Clean bathrooms 10) Access to great American Airlines staff (if your flight's delayed, or having any other issues, the AAngels can help you faster than someone at the gate) But you can enter for free if you have either an American Express Platinum card or an American Airlines Admirals Club membership. This is the revamped American Airlines Admirals Club. After clearing security, turn left and walk towards baggage claim and the entrance will be on your right. Would love for them to add showers. Supposedly it's planned but hasn't happened yet. read more
The new Airspace Lounge at the San Diego Airport, a joint venture between American Airlines and Airspace, is a comfortable place to hang out while waiting for flights. I recently used my US Airways ticket to get free admission, even though US Airways isn't actually American Airlines just yet. So this was a bit of a 'work-around", because technically, US Airways (if it wasn't being absorbed by AA) shouldn't have gotten me into the lounge. It was nearly empty on the day, probably because I was catching a mid-morning flight to Phoenix. I suspect that its a lot busier first thing in the morning and also in the early evening, around 4:00. The lounge feels a bit sterile for me. One easy fix would be to install lower lights and warm up the place with a fresh paint job using warmer colors. But I can't really complain, what with the free snacks, coffee, tea, etc. It is better than the old AA Admiral's club, for sure. Of course, there is a full bar and you can order food (a little pricey) at the bar, which is convenient. read more
Little or no service at all - not sure if this is because today is Sunday. Used cups were not removed, guests were noisy and there were no snacks offered other than cheese cubes which looked old and not very sanitary. Seriously there are many other airport lounges which are MUCH better than this one. The only reason I did not give one star is because the bathroom was clean, nice and functional. Food service was not good, and service in general was non existent. read more
This place takes Amex Platinum and gives you a $10 giftcard for drinks/food! Whoa! Thank you internet and yelp! This was really a wonderful surprise and for that, it got 5 stars for happiness. However, there are more qualities that justifies the review. The Airspace lounge offers a wide variety of snacks, cookies, chex-mix, as well as fruits and vegetables (cherry tomatoes, apples, celery). With the $10 gift card, you can exchange it for a mixed drink or a wrap or a Mediterranean spread w/grape leaves, pickled vegetables and a pita-like wrap. Of course, if you are used to the unlimited free drinks at Centurion lounges, then this place may not be able to compare, but hey, comfy chairs and a great view is better than sitting around without a power outlet or free food, right? read more

Best surprise ever! I am an Amex Platinum card holder but since there isn't a Centurion Lounge here and no results turned up when I searched for lounges under Priority Pass I assumed there was no lounge access for me. So I proceeded to sit near my gate for the last 20 minutes and frustrated I have another hour to spare before boarding begins. That was until I did an "airport bar" search in Yelp (you're the best) this showed up and in reading the reviews I realized, wait, I can come! It was an amazing surprise and I basically power walked here in excitement. You're given a $10 card upon entry that you can use towards alcoholic drinks/food/snacks that the lounge otherwise charges for but there is also a limited selection of complimentary beer/wine you can ask for at the bar as well as free Peet's coffee, soft drinks and some light refreshments (think crudités). The free Chardonnay I'm sipping on it pretty good if you ask me! The best thing about this lounge is it's not crowded at all! It's a Sunday afternoon and I imagined there would be a lot of travelers leaving SD so this was unexpected. The space is well maintained and well lit with floor to ceiling windows on multiple sides. Every seat essentially has a charger next to it. Let's hope I don't miss my flight as this is quite a comfy lounge stay! read more

Very solid lounge if you're flying out of SAN. Came here using my Amex Platinum benefit this morning. Ample space to work before flight. I enjoyed a breakfast bacon egg and cheese sandwich and orange juice from the menu, using the free $10 dining credit that Amex provides here. Staff were super attentive and friendly considering the time of the morning - I was really pleasantly surprised! Great airside views of the AA gates. read more
