As football fans pour into the Bay Area, American is greeting them with a standout, game day-ready experience at its Admirals Club® lounge in Terminal 1 near Gate B13 at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

American has expanded service from both Boston (BOS) and Seattle (SEA) to San Jose, California (SJC). SJC is a convenient 10 minutes away from the stadium, making for an easy, hassle-free journey before and after the game on Feb. 8.

For fans routing through SFO, American’s elevated Admirals Club® lounge transforms the airport into a premium retreat offering a calm, polished space to reset before or after the biggest game of the year.

A premium travel experience for event week

The lounge, a fixture of SFO’s Harvey Milk Terminal (Prix Versailles 2025 architectural award winner), is designed to make game-week travel smoother. The LEED Gold Certified Admirals Club® lounge near Gate B13 features a modern, Bay Area-inspired design, thoughtful seating zones and premium amenities that help customers relax before takeoff.


Touches of San Francisco culture are featured throughout the lounge space.
