Priority Pass Lounge at Santa Ana

If you’re flying out of sunny Orange County, you’re likely expecting a smooth, laid-back travel experience—and John Wayne Airport (SNA) delivers exactly that. While there’s no Priority Pass lounge available at SNA just yet, the terminal still offers a few places to rest and recharge before takeoff.

Priority Pass Lounge Access

Currently, John Wayne Airport doesn’t offer access to any lounges through Priority Pass. That means you won’t be able to use your membership to enter lounges here—but you still have a couple of good alternatives if you’re traveling on American or United, or are open to purchasing a day pass.

American Airlines Admirals Club – Across from Gate 8

If you’re flying American Airlines or a oneworld partner, the Admirals Club is located on the Mezzanine Level across from Gate 8. Open most days from 5:15 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., this lounge offers a quiet space to unwind with complimentary snacks, soft drinks, and access to Wi-Fi and business services. While not included with Priority Pass, you can purchase a day pass for $79, which gets you entry, even if you’re not an Admirals Club member—as long as you’re flying American or a partner airline. Grab a seat by the window, sip on a cold beverage, and enjoy a little calm before your flight.

United Club – Across from Gate 9

Over in the same Mezzanine Level area, across from Gate 9, the United Club welcomes travelers daily from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.. The lounge includes complimentary drinks, snacks, Wi-Fi, and a comfortable space to relax. A one-day pass runs $59, and you’ll need a valid same-day boarding pass on United or a Star Alliance partner. Whether you’re flying to Denver or Chicago, it’s a great way to kick off your trip with a little extra breathing room.
