Delta is quietly reshaping the airport lounge experience, embarking on a multi-year journey of upgrades and expansions across its network. While recent headlines have focused on the lavish new Delta One Lounges, a significant wave of improvements is unfolding, promising a more comfortable and refined travel experience for loyal customers.
The most distant, yet exciting, announcement centers on Las Vegas. For the first time, Delta will establish a dedicated Sky Club at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). This addition addresses a notable gap in Delta’s lounge offerings within a major destination, though travelers will need patience – the doors aren’t expected to open until 2029.
Closer to reality is a complete transformation of the Delta Sky Club at Denver International Airport (DEN). After a period of extensive renovations, the revitalized space is set to unveil its improvements within the next two months. Passengers can anticipate a significantly enhanced and expanded facility, designed for greater comfort and convenience.
Florida travelers will also benefit from substantial upgrades. Delta is planning major expansions to its Sky Clubs in both Jacksonville (JAX) and Tampa (TPA). The Jacksonville location is poised to triple in size, reaching 10,000 square feet, with completion expected next year. Tampa’s new club, situated on the airport’s Airside D concourse, is slated to open in 2028.
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) has already seen the completion of a long-awaited lounge renovation. While remaining a more intimate space at 5,800 square feet, the revamped Sky Club now boasts a 90% increase in seating capacity, accommodating up to 144 guests. A dedicated new seating room and refreshed interiors contribute to a more welcoming atmosphere.
Beyond the aesthetic improvements, the Philadelphia overhaul includes crucial enhancements to the “back-of-house” areas. This expansion of food preparation spaces promises a wider and more diverse selection of culinary offerings for guests, elevating the overall lounge experience.
These strategic investments demonstrate Delta’s commitment to providing a premium experience for its passengers, extending beyond the flagship Delta One Lounges to encompass a broader network of revitalized and expanded Sky Clubs. The changes, while unfolding over several years, signal a significant upgrade to the pre-flight experience for Delta flyers nationwide.
