Delta Air Lines will be opening its second Delta One® Lounge on October 10th. In January 2023, news broke that the Delta One® Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) was supposed to open at some point in 2024. It’s going to be around 10,000 square feet, which is significantly smaller than the lounge at New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Delta has less eligible passengers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), so this makes sense. The lounge will be connected to the Sky Club® in Terminal 3. In addition to the lounge, a dedicated Delta One® check-in area also opened earlier this year.
I reviewed the Delta One® Lounge at New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in July and was thoroughly impressed. This lounge is now the nicest in the United States. View from the Wing broke the news this morning that the second location will open at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on October 10th.
Access to this lounge is also exclusive. Delta is trying to avoid the crowding issues at many Sky Clubs®. The following passengers have access to the Delta One® Lounge before departure:
- Delta One® passengers (these passengers also have exclusive access upon arrival)
- Delta 360 members departing or arriving on a same day Delta First Class ticket
- Air France La Premiere and Business Class
- KLM Business Class
- Korean Air First Class and Prestige Class
- LATAM Premium Business Class
- Virgin Atlantic Upper Class
There are not many eligible long haul international routes from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). These include:
- Auckland International Airport (AKL)
- Brisbane Airport (BNE)
- Papeete’s Faaʻa International Airport (PPT)
- Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD)
- Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND)
The lounge is around 1/4 of the size of the New York location, but this makes sense given the smaller number of passengers that will rightfully have access. Amenities should be similar to the first lounge with elevated dining and beverage options.
Anthony’s Take: It’s exciting that a second location will soon be open. Delta will open two more soon (Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is slated for later this year and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is coming in 2025).
