Have you ever wondered where all the elite airline fliers hang out before boarding? We can answer that in three words – Delta Sky Club.
Branded Delta Sky Club lounges can be found in airports all over the world. Before you travel, check in and see if you have access to any of these exclusive lounges. It can’t hurt, right? Wouldn’t you like to be one of those people sipping a cappuccino and feeding yourself grapes in a plush lounge chair rather than wandering the airport terminal with your smart luggage?
What Is Delta Sky Club?

Uncork and unwind before takeoff. Delta Sky Club is a group of posh lounges owned and operated by Delta Air Lines. If you’ve ever had the luxury of flying first class and a high tier credit card holder or member, you’ll know what we’re talking about.
A lot of business people use the lounge between connecting flights. You’ll find there are over 45 locations around the world; Delta travelers have access to about 230 lounge locations across the world. While the majority of these locations are within the United States, there are also several locations in Chile and Japan.
What Amenities Are There in the Delta Sky Club?

Open the doors to a cheerful receptionist in a bright and airy lobby. Once you check in, head around the corner to a wide, open space reserved just for elite fliers. Grab a newspaper from the free stand and head over to the lounge and kitchen area. There are plenty of comfy seats to grab and free wifi. If you’re hungry, there are plenty of snacks, beverages, and light food to choose from.
On top of that, you will also find satellite TV, magazines, and impeccably clean restrooms. While most Delta Sky Rooms do not offer full meals, we’re fine with the delicious light fare. The food is similar to that you would find in a hotel’s continental breakfast. In the morning, you can find scrambled eggs, cereal, small muffins, fresh fruit, coffee, water, and fountain drinks.
If you would like to learn more about the Delta Sky Club offerings including nutritional information, check out the Delta Selection list on their website. Paid beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits are also available upon request.
That’s not all. Some Delta Sky Club locations provide more exclusive amenities. Among these include free self-service bars and free shower rooms. The showers come fully-equipped with hotel-quality toiletries, including shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, hair dryers, and towels.

Here’s the million-dollar question. How can you get into the Delta Sky Club lounge? If you’re anything like us, when you walk by these doors, you’re dying to be a part of this aura of exclusivity. Alright, it’s time for the 411. There are several ways to get in.
You can enter the Delta Sky Club lounge by: purchasing a single visit pass, utilizing your lounge membership, traveling in first class or business class on a number of different airlines and routes, using your credit card, or flaunting that frequent flier elite status (we all know one of those people).

You’ll also have access to partner lounges from fellow SkyTeam Alliance members (e.g. Virgin Atlantic, Air France, Aeromexico). Travelers without the Medallion status can purchase access to the Delta Sky Club.
