Change of operation for JAL gate and lounge
SFO will reopen Concourse-A on September 1 as more foreign airlines resume flights in September. JAL Sakura Lounge is located in the Concourse A, thus JAL Sakura Lounge will also reopen. Eligible passengers can use JAL Sakura Lounge only on the day JAL operated flights operate. Also, this will cause the change of departure gate from the Concourse-G to the Concourse-A as before. However, check-in counter for flight operated by JAL will remain in Aisle 8.
