ONT T4 is opening next week sometime, and will be open all day and Into the night (9pm).
ONT T2 has already scaled back, and closes from 11am until 3pm.
PHX has a temporary Esc Lounge in T3 High B gates (old The Club) but will eventually be full scale be end of year.
Supposedly, SMF is next on the list to open a lounge, according to signage posted somewhere at the airport.

What airlines are associated with the PHX location?

Visiting Escape Lounges Without a Physical Amex Platinum Card?
If I visit a Centurion Lounge without the card, they can look me up. How about Escape? Will they settle for the depiction of the card on the Amex app?
Thx....

I doubt that very much. Escape is an Amex partner, not Amex. I can’t believe Amex would allow Escape that kind of access to its records.

Can I visit the OAK lounge on arrival or do I need a boarding pass for a departing flight?
T&C say same day boarding pass which I assume covers entry in arrival, but after the recent changes for the centurion lounges I’m not certain anymore. Thanks for any insights

What is this DL? If you mean driver's license, my personal policy is never to show it in an airport or other situation when I'm obviously leaving town as it contains my home address, nor in fact when it's not required for something related driving a motor vehicle, such as when I pick up a rental car or renew my license.

BTW, the ONT terminal dining options are quite poor, businesses have limited hours, and a number of concession spaces have apparently never been leased, so an Escape Lounge here is particularly valuable - assuming it's high quality.

Is there really an Escape lounge at SMF? The airport isn't on the dropdown list of the Escape lounges website that google found for me.

Thank you. Those pictures weren't on the website I was viewing.
Both announcements say that Escape lounges at both terminals (A and B) at SMF will open in Spring 2019, which most people would say ends about now.
Has anyone been through SMF recently to be able to get a report from the ground regarding how close the lounges look to opening?
