New Delta Sky Club lounge opens at Atlanta Airport

Delta’s new Delta Sky Club lounge opened at Atlanta Airport at concourse B on Friday. So what does it have and how do you get in?

The lounge:

THE BAR at Delta Sky Club offers a variety of premium and complimentary options including cocktails, Sweetwater craft beer and Starbucks coffee, freshly brewed or from a state-of-the-art automatic Swiss coffee maker.

Guests can pair their favourite beverage with complimentary Southern fare. Atlanta Chef Linton Hopkins, who dishes up menus on select Delta flights from Atlanta to Europe, provides locally inspired soups, salads and breads exclusive to the Atlanta B Delta Sky Club. Additional menu items include pasta and rice salads, corn and blueberry muffins, rye rolls and soup toppings, including crispy chickpeas, coconut shavings and croutons. For breakfast, guests can enjoy locally baked bagels, hard boiled eggs and a yogurt bar with toppings, while fruit and snacks are offered throughout the day.

THE GALLERY, a feature of art that greets guests along the walk into the Club, will showcase work from emerging artists and local galleries. Inside the Club are a number of local inspired pieces, including a texture-patterned Wright Brothers mural by Atlanta-based artist Alexi Torres.

Guests have power outlets near every seat and Wi-Fi throughout the space, as well as TVs, magazines, and quiet work areas. 

Construction for the Atlanta B Delta Sky Club began in late 2015. Located on Concourse B near Gate B18, the space has a seating capacity of more than 500 and is expected to be the busiest Club in the entire Delta system.

With the opening of the Atlanta B Club, Delta will close its other two Clubs near gates B10 and B25. Delta operates a total of nine Clubs in the Atlanta airport and 50 around the world.
