Last month, I wrote about Delta opening a new Sky Club® at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). This is the eighth location at Delta’s mega hub and it’s less than one month old. I had some time between connecting flights today and took the train over to Concourse D to check out the new space. It’s beautifully designed and pretty large with more than 24,000 square feet of space and seating for 500+ guests.

Access

Access is granted to passengers with memberships (purchased annually), one-time pass holders (earned from the co-branded American Express cards), Delta One®, SkyTeam premium cabin passengers, SkyTeam Elite Plus when flying internationally in premium cabins, the Centurion® and The Platinum Card® from American Express holders (10 visits per year), Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card or the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card holders (15 visits per year), WestJet business class passengers, and WestJet Rewards Platinum and Gold Elite. Allowed guests vary by access type. A same-day boarding pass is required to enter the Delta Sky Club®. Those with credit card access can purchase additional entries for $50 each after they have used their annual allotments or for guests.

Anthony’s Take: I loved the latest addition to Delta’s lounge network. The lunch was delicious, I had no problem finding a seat, and the design is gorgeous. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here versus some of the other locations if I were not near, but it’s a great space and one that Delta should be proud to share with guests. This is Delta’s first lounge opening at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) since 2016 and is the second largest that Delta operates at there.Delta Sky Club ATL D18 2

There are kiosks to verify access on the left side upon entering.

Seating & Decor

As mentioned above, there is tons of seating in this Sky Club® (it can accommodate 500+ guests). There are lots of tables, high tops, phone booths, and desks around the lounge. I like that they are all segmented into smaller spaces. Everything still looked and felt new. The art throughout the lounge is modern and fun.

Amenities

This Sky Club® offers free Wi-Fi, restrooms, the departure boards (pictured above), and the food and beverages mentioned.

Overall Impression:

This Delta Sky Club® in Terminal D at ATL might be my new favorite. This could be because it just opened, but I really liked the design and space, overall.
