1 x Polaris
1 x Sky Club
1 x JAL Sakura
1 x Swissport
1 x BA
1 x SAS
That's 14 by my count.
But only one rarely open Priority Pass lounge, no Priority Pass restaurants, no Centurion lounge, no Plaza Premium lounges, no Capital One lounges, etc. Compare that to peer airports like ATL, DFW, JFK, DEN, LAS or LAX...the only other US airports with more than 10m enplanements and so few third party lounge options would be Salt Lake City...and yes, Chicago Midway.
