Delta will be catching up and quickly surpassing United and American Airlines next week with the introduction of its Delta One® Lounge for international Business and First Class passengers. The new space will open on June 26th in Terminal 4 of New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
While details are not fully revealed, the lounge will be massive at 39,000 square feet. The lounge will feature amenities like a full-service restaurant as well as a casual market with open kitchens. There will also be a wellness area and a year-round terrace. Earlier today, I wrote about Delta’s new partnership with Missoni to provide amenity kits for Delta One® passengers as well as select home items throughout this new lounge space.
United led the way with its Polaris lounges. These offer premium passengers an elevated buffet, a sit-down restaurant, premium cocktails and wines, and shower suites. (My review of the EWR one is here.) American has Flagship Lounges in several cities. These offer the same amenities as United with the exception of sit-down dining reserved for first class passengers. American also allows in way more people than United since AAdvantage Platinum, Platinum Pro, Executive Platinum, Concierge Key, and oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members can all access the lounge (and they can bring a guest).
It’s no secret that the Delta Sky Clubs® have been incredibly crowded (likely because the amenities offered are so good) and the lines to enter often snake around the airports. With the introduction of these lounges, Delta will further alleviate crowding by moving premium passengers to their own designated spaces.
Anthony’s Take: I cannot wait to check out this lounge. It looks incredible and I’m excited to see how Delta outdoes its already great Sky Clubs®.
