American Airlines, which has served the San Francisco market for more than 60 years, will construct a new Admirals Club lounge in conjunction with the terminal relocation. American’s Admirals Club will be the only airport lounge in Terminal 2.
In the new terminal, American Airlines will have 14 ticket counter positions and 20 self-service machines to offer a smooth check-in for its more than 30 daily departures at SFO.
