Soon, the Delta One lounge network will be a reality.
Delta will be opening its first exclusive lounge in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport Terminal 4 with the latest news.
The Los Angeles International Airport will soon be home to a new Delta One lounge. The Sky Club will be connected to the new 10,000- square-foot facility.
There is an all-new departure and arrival experience at the recently opened Sky Way terminal complex.
There is an airside connection between Terminals 2 and 3 as well as a reworked check-in area. The premium experience is the biggest improvement brought by the upgraded facility.
One of the nice things about the Sky Club is that it is 30,000 square feet. There are two buffets, a coffee grotto lined with Italian mosaic tile, an expansive bar, a multitude of seating areas and a year-round outdoor Sky Deck with amazing views of the ramp, runway and Hollywood Hills.
The club opened at the same time as the main areas of the Sky Way terminal but Delta's infrastructure is still a work in progress. Nine new gates will be opened in the Terminal 3 satellite facility in October.

There will be an even more exclusive lounge in the terminal when the Delta One club opens.
The lounge is expected to only be open to passengers on long-haul flights in business class, and it's possible that flyers traveling on premium transcon routes to New York and Boston will also be welcome.

The American Flagship Lounge and the United Polaris Lounge are both of which offer an elevated experience to long-haul business-class passengers.
Delta's membership clubs aren't as nice as American and United's lounges. La carte dining or complimentary top-shelf liquor are not included in the service experience.
The Sky Clubs in Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and New York are impressive, so it will be interesting to see how Delta distinguishes its lounges.

Claude Roussel, the man behind Delta's clubs, said that "we are going to tailor the experience to each location," without getting into specifics about the rumored space in the Sky Way that's reserved for a future premium
Delta has made up its mind and is going for the premium lounge model.
It's not clear if the new terminal will have a dedicated Delta One check-in area, which is a feature that many of the airline's highest paying passengers enjoy.
If Delta's work on its Sky Club network is any indication, we will be in for a real treat with the new business class outposts.
