The year in lounges: Delta One Lounge coming to SEA and more for 2025

2024 was a landmark year for Delta Sky Club, with the debut of Delta One Lounges in JFK, LAX and BOS marking a new era of premium travel for the airline. In addition to three premium lounges, Delta opened a new-market Sky Club in Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and expansions to both the MIA and LGA Clubs.

This year, the Delta One Lounge journey continues, along with much anticipated refreshes to Clubs in Delta's hometown ATL airport, a Club expansion, and three new locations at hubs.

Here's a look at what customers can look forward to this year.

An expanding Club network, plus a new Delta One Lounge

ATL
As part of the Concourse D renovation, a new 23,000 square-foot Club will open near Gate D16 this spring. This will be the first new Club at Delta's ATL homebase since 2016 and the second-largest Delta Sky Club at the airport. Spring 2025

In addition to the new Club on Concourse D, the Clubs on Concourses A and C will receive upgrades designed to elevate the guest experience.

SEA
The Delta One Lounge experience comes to the northwest coast with the opening of Seattle-Tacoma International's Delta One Lounge this summer. The nearly 11,000-square-foot space will feature an open-air terrace with stunning views of Mt. Rainier.

Seattle's first Delta One Lounge will be located on the upper level of the airport's forthcoming second Delta Sky Club, located near Gate 11 on Concourse A. At nearly 14,000 square feet, the A11 Delta Sky Club will give SEA customers more options to relax and dine pre-flight.

A spotlight on chefs giving back

Delta Sky Club's Local Flavor program showcases a rotation of emerging hometown chefs, highlighting some of their most popular recipes for Club customers passing through.

This year, the Local Flavor program will take on a more community-focused angle, throwing the spotlight on award-winning chefs and restauranteurs who are deeply committed to serving the needs of their neighborhoods.

Detroit (DTW) will house the first Local Flavor Community initiative, with monthlong residencies from the following chefs:

• Ji Hye Kim - The award-winning chef/owner of Korean fusion restaurant Miss Kim in Ann Arbor, MI, was named one of Food & Wine's Best New Chefs of 2021. Ji Hye is a champion of fair employment in the restaurant industry and is committed to combatting food insecurity in her community. Jan. 2025

• Rohani Foulkes - The owner of Detroit's Folk - a James Beard-award-nominated and Michelin Guide-recognized Aussie-style café, specialty market and wine shop - Rohani is passionate about creating community through food and providing an outstanding work environment for her employees. Feb. 2025

• George Azar - The chef/owner behind Detroit's Flowers of Vietnam (winner of GQ's "Best New Restaurant" award), Azar, recognized by Zagat's '30 Under 30 Rockstars Redefining the Industry," is committed to the Detroit community and to revitalizing the city through the culinary scene. March 2025

Local Flavor Community previously featured Hamissi Mamba, a Burundian refugee, Chopped winner, and chef/co-owner of Baobab Fare in Detroit. Mamba dedicated his Chopped winnings to Freedom House Detroit, an organization that supports and empowers refugees like himself.

Building on an award-winning network

With 56 lounges and a footprint of 700,000 square feet, the Delta Sky Club network is the largest of any U.S. domestic airline.

Last year, the JFK Delta One Lounge was named the best lounge by a U.S. carrier by Travel Weekly's Magellan awards and best U.S. Airline Lounge by Forbes Travel Guide's Luxury Air Travel awards. The SEA and BOS Delta Sky Clubs were named two of the best in the country by USA Today. For the second year in a row, Global Traveler awarded Delta Sky Club the top prize in the "Best Airport Lounges" category.

Delta Air Lines has been declared 'Airline of the Year' by Global Traveler and secured multiple recognitions within the publication's 21^st Annual GT Tested Reader Survey Awards.
