Delta Air Lines is embarking on an exciting nationwide lounge expansion this year, unveiling a series of new Sky Club and Delta One Lounge spaces across a variety of bustling airports.
After a remarkable year in 2024 that marked the grand debut of its luxurious Delta One Lounges in major hubs like New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), and Boston (BOS), as well as newly expanded Sky Clubs in vibrant destinations such as Charlotte (CLT), Miami (MIA), and LaGuardia (LGA), Delta seems poised to continue this impressive growth trajectory into 2025.
Passengers can anticipate the opening of a brand-new Delta One Lounge, as well as one of the largest Sky Clubs in the network, promising expansive spaces filled with refined amenities.
Seattle Gets Its First Delta One Lounge
In June 2025, Delta will inaugurate its newest Delta One Lounge at its Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) hub, bringing its signature blend of global luxury and local character to the Pacific Northwest.
Spanning nearly 11,000 square feet, the new lounge will feature an open-air terrace with views of Mt. Rainier, offering travelers a serene escape from the airport’s bustle.
Seattle’s Delta One Lounge will likely follow the same sophisticated design philosophy as its counterparts in New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), and Boston (BOS), each of which seamlessly blends local culture with world-class amenities.
At JFK, travelers step into a sleek urban retreat; in Los Angeles, the space radiates Hollywood glamour; in Boston, the coastal-inspired décor reflects New England’s maritime charm.
Likewise, dining in the upcoming Delta One Lounge in SEA should be an experience in itself, with menus crafted to showcase local flavors and culinary excellence.
While New York offers the ambiance of a brasserie, Los Angeles presents a sushi-forward selection, and Boston highlights fresh seafood, each menu is curated with the precision of fine dining rather than standard airport fare. Seattle’s lounge is expected to follow suit, potentially incorporating Pacific Northwest ingredients like fresh salmon, Dungeness crab, and artisanal coffee, creating a true taste of the region.
Beyond dining, the lounge’s wellness and business amenities should also set it apart, allowing guests to unwind in relaxation pods and massage chairs, mirroring the focus on well-being seen in other Delta One Lounges.
For those needing to stay productive, the space should include private booths for work or calls, ensuring a quiet, well-equipped environment for business travelers.
As with its other Delta One Lounges, natural light should be a key element of the design, providing a peaceful contrast to the usual airport rush.
Complementing this new Delta One Lounge, Delta will also open a second Sky Club at SEA, near Gate 11 in Concourse A. At nearly 14,000 square feet, Delta says this lounge will provide additional comfort, dining, and relaxation options for Sky Club members and eligible travelers.
With these additions, Delta is reinforcing Seattle as a key hub in its premium travel network, ensuring that passengers flying through SEA will enjoy a seamless, world-class experience from the ground up.
Atlanta Welcomes Its Largest New Lounge in Years
As part of the ongoing renovations to Concourse D at “The Mothership,” also known as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Delta will open a 23,000-square-foot Sky Club near Gate D16 in spring 2025—its first new Club in Atlanta since 2016.
This will be the second-largest Delta Sky Club at ATL, ensuring more passengers have access to premium amenities.
In addition, the existing lounges on Concourses A and C will receive enhancements designed to elevate the guest experience.
Massive New Sky Club in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) has been undergoing a multi-phase transformation, and Delta is playing a central role in shaping its future. As the dominant carrier at SLC, Delta benefits from the airport’s modernized layout, which improves efficiency and enhances the passenger experience.
By late 2025, Delta will open its second Sky Club at SLC, an expansive 34,000-square-foot lounge on Concourse B—one of the largest in Delta’s entire network.
This addition comes as part of a broader airport redevelopment that reduces walking distances for connecting passengers through a new central tunnel and a more efficient linear concourse design, making connections smoother and less stressful.
The new SLC terminal also offers expanded dining and shopping options with a focus on local Utah brands, reflecting the region’s culture and culinary scene. The terminal’s flood of natural light, large-scale art installations like “The River Tunnel,” and energy-efficient systems create an aesthetically pleasing and sustainable environment for travelers.
Delta’s strategic placement of Sky Clubs and lounges within this revitalized terminal means passengers will have an elevated pre-flight experience, complete with premium food and beverage offerings, quiet spaces for work and relaxation, and a design that mirrors the modern, spacious feel of the new terminal.
Other Sky Club Openings
Delta is also expanding its lounge offerings across the country. In Orlando (MCO), an expansion will add an impressive 3,300 square feet of space, allowing for seating for an additional 75 guests by February 2025.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia (PHL), the Sky Club, located near the Terminal D/E connector, will undergo a transformation, growing by 2,000 square feet to provide more seating and upgraded amenities, which is expected to be completed in late 2025.
Currently, Delta Sky Club boasts the largest lounge network among all U.S. airlines, featuring an impressive total of 56 lounges that collectively cover over 700,000 square feet of elegantly designed space.
In 2024, the JFK Delta One Lounge was honored as the “Best Airline Lounge” by Business Traveler, highlighting its exceptional offerings and atmosphere.
As Delta continues to expand its Sky Club and Delta One Lounge services, travelers can eagerly anticipate an even more elevated and immersive experience.
