On our way home from Exuma, we had a layover in Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). We decided to check out the Sky Club® in Terminal E since our flight arrived and was departing from here. This is a pretty large lounge with lots of seating configurations and even when busy, it still felt spacious.

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, Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card holders, 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®.

Anthony’s Take: We found a quiet spot and enjoyed our time at the Sky Club®. The food was good and the lounge felt spacious even when the line was snaking out the door and down the hall. Its amenities include a buffet, a dessert station, a gelato station, a full bar as well as a wine cart, restrooms, magazines, and free Wi-Fi.

Delta Sky Club ATL E Desk

There is a large desk as soon as you enter to verify credentials. There are no kiosks here.

Seating & Decor

There is tons of seating in this Sky Club®. There are lots of tables, high tops, and desks around the room. The art was rather lacking here and I found the lounge a bit bland.

Delta Sky Club ATL E Cubicles

Cubicles are located in the back corner behind the front desk.

More seating in the back of the lounge.

Amenities

This Sky Club® offers free Wi-Fi, restrooms, magazines, and the food and beverages mentioned above.

Overall Impression:

This Delta Sky Club® in Terminal E at ATL is comfortable and a great spot to work or relax. It’s not my favorite at this airport, but it was fine for our layover.

Anthony’s Credit Card Pick: I love the lounges where The Platinum Card® from American Express grants me access. It has had a prominent place in my wallet for many years now. While it does have an annual fee of $695, it provides many travel benefits and will always be my go-to for lounge access (both Delta Sky Clubs® and Centurion Lounges) and booking airfare from the airlines to earn 5x points (up to $500,000 per calendar year).

I’d say the Sky Club by B18.

As a delta first class passenger will I be able to access the lounges?

Not in domestic First Class. If you’re flying Delta One internationally you can.
