Delta
has announced the addition of new lounges and clubs at airport locations across
the U.S. along with a new culinary program.
Five new lounges will open in 2024 adding more than 2,700
seats to its already growing lounge network.
New York’s JFK will host the inaugural premium lounge, a
sweeping 38,000-square-foot space featuring both a full-service brasserie and a
casual, chef-assisted market with open kitchens, dedicated wellness areas and
more.
While access guidelines for the premium lounge are still
being finalized, Claude Roussel, Vice President – Sky Club and Lounge
Experience says the vision for the customer is clear. “We want each of our
guests to receive a highly personalized and dedicated level
of service,” he said. “It’s not enough to have beautiful spaces and
exceptional offerings. Premium lounge customers should feel welcomed and known
when they walk in the door, just as they would at their favorite hotel or
restaurant. We look forward to providing that warm welcome and making ‘premium’
feel personal for each guest.”
Just like Delta Sky Clubs, no two premium lounges will be
alike, and each location will include elements inspired by and unique to its
host city.
New clubs and expansions in key markets include:
LGA: An expansion of the Terminal C Club will add a Sky Deck
and more than 100 seats to the Club.
MIA: Following an expansion of the Club at Miami
International Airport, the location will top 12,000 square feet with planned
seating for 320 guests.
JFK: The much-anticipated premium lounge will make its debut
in early summer 2024. At 38,000 feet (including a year-round terrace), the
premium lounge will be the largest in the Delta network.
CLT: A new market for Delta Sky Club, the first-ever
Charlotte location will seat over 250 people and measure nearly 15,000 square
feet.
SEA: Delta Sky Club will open a 21,000-plus-square-foot
location on Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s Terminal A, its second Club
at the airport.
LAX: Delta Sky Club will bring the premium experience to the
West Coast with the opening of the LAX premium lounge featuring an exclusive
outdoor terrace. The 10,000-plus-square-foot space will be directly accessible
by elevator from the Delta One check-in area.
BOS: Rounding out the year, the new 6,300-square-foot BOS-E
premium lounge will seat 120 customers. The premium lounge will be connected to
the recently opened BOS-E Delta Sky Club premium lounge, and guests will have
access to both spaces.
Delta Sky Club’s Local Flavor program will showcase a
quarterly rotation of emerging hometown chefs, highlighting some of their most
popular recipes for Club customers.
These include Jeremy Sewall, acclaimed and award-winning
head chef behind four Row 34 restaurants in the Boston area who will present
New England seafood specialties at BOS.
Pasta-maker extraordinaire and fellow Top Chef alum Silvia
Barban, the Italian-born chef behind Brooklyn’s LaRina restaurant will showcase
his cuisine at LGA.
New Delta Sky Clubs opened in 2023 include the only airport
lounge in Kansas City’s newly renovated airport, a nature-inspired oasis on
MSP’s G Concourse, a sleek second lounge on JFK’s T4 terminal, a
nautical-themed Club on BOS’s E Concourse overlooking the Boston Harbor and a
larger, refreshed EWR lounge at Delta’s new Terminal A home.
In 2023, Delta Sky Club was named the best lounge network
for memberships by AFAR and its LAX Club was awarded North America’s Best
Airline Lounge by Business Traveler USA. It was also designated one of the
world’s nine best airport lounges by Architectural Digest.
