The Club at MSY

When We Visited: January 2026

How We Got In: The Chase Sapphire Reserve Card & The Chase Sapphire Reserve Card for Business, and the American Express Platinum Card, all of which come with the Priority Pass and lounge access.

Overview: On our way out of New Orleans, we stopped at The Club at MSY lounge. We didn’t spend much time here because the wait to get into the lounge was 35 minutes. The lounge is currently being remodeled, so there was limited seating which I’m sure added to the long wait time. It looks like you can pre book this lounge, but I didn’t see the option available when I was looking at the Lounge in the Priority Pass app. Plus, we had some last minute souvenirs to buy, so we didn’t mind shopping while we waited.

Once we were able to go into the lounge, there was a host who escorted us inside and helped us find a place to sit. I really appreciate when lounges do this, it takes away the stress of trying to find a seat in a crowded lounge.

The Club had a QR code at every table which you could use to order drinks and select food items (there were only 2 food options available via the QR code.) This is the first lounge I’ve visited with the option to order cocktails and food to the table - the QR code is typically limited to beer and wine. I definitely appreciated the convenience of being able to order directly to the table.

The food at the lounge was alright. From the QR menu, I ordered gumbo to the table, and it was actually pretty tasty. Other than that, the buffet had limited food options. There was a rice dish available, two soup options, and salad.

My assessment: It’s a good place to wait for your flight if you’re in New Orleans. Hopefully the wait time will improve once renovations are done and more seating opens up.
