Delta Air Lines Opens New Lounges
According to a Delta Air Lines spokesperson, the new lounges are part of an effort to provide high-end services to its most valued customers. These lounges will feature exclusive amenities, including a sit-down brasserie and a spa offering facial and massage treatments.
As per Travel and Leisure, the development follows the opening of the inaugural Delta One lounge at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. Delta Air Lines is also planning to add similar facilities at Boston-Logan International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport by the end of 2024.
These lounges are designed to cater exclusively to long-haul business and first-class customers, select ticket holders on Delta partner flights, and Delta 360 members flying domestic first class.
The luxury lounges set Delta Air Lines apart from its Sky Clubs, which are already well-known among travelers. These additions are part of Delta's commitment to serving luxury travelers and come as the airline prepares to restrict Sky Club access starting February 2025.
Credit card holders will soon be limited to a capped number of visits yearly.
In addition to the lounges at major hubs, Delta Air Lines plans to expand its lounge offerings at non-hub airports. Miami International Airport is scheduled to see an expansion of its Sky Club space soon, and a new 15,000-square-foot lounge at Charlotte Douglas International Airport will open by year's end.
As Delta Air Lines continues to invest in premium services, it maintains a competitive edge in the airline industry, promising more comfortable and luxurious travel options for its passengers.
