Here’s a look at what customers can look forward to this year.
2024 was a significant year for Delta Sky Club, marked by the introduction of Delta One Lounges at JFK, LAX, and BOS, ushering in a new era of premium travel for the airline. In addition to these three premium lounges, Delta also opened a new Sky Club at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and expanded its facilities at Miami International Airport (MIA) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
The Delta One Lounge journey continues this year, with much-anticipated refreshes to Clubs in Delta’s hometown ATL airport, an expansion of clubs, and three new hub locations.
