Delta Air Lines elevates lounge experience with transformed Sky Clubs at PHL and ATL


Delta is upgrading its Sky Clubs with major renovations at Philadelphia and refreshed lounges in Atlanta, increasing seating, improving flow, and enhancing comfort, with further expansions planned at JAX, TPA and LAS.

Summary:

  • Delta Air Lines enhances the Sky Club experience, with major renovations at Philadelphia (PHL) and refreshed lounges in Atlanta (ATL) boosting seating capacity and comfort for travellers.
  • Passenger-centric design drives lounge upgrades, featuring regionally inspired art, updated furniture, improved buffet flow, and more intuitive layouts across key hubs.
  • Network-wide lounge growth continues, with planned expansions and new clubs in Jacksonville, Tampa, and Las Vegas to elevate the Delta Sky Club experience systemwide.

Delta Air Lines is continuing to elevate the lounge experience. Updates across key airports, including a major upgrade in Philadelphia (PHL) and refreshed lounges in Atlanta (ATL), are increasing systemwide seating and improving the experience for more travellers. These upgrades are designed around what customers want: space to breathe, space to work and an experience that feels welcoming from the moment they step inside.

Delta customers at PHL can now enjoy a transformed Delta Sky Club, following an extensive renovation that doubled the Club’s seating capacity from accommodating 70 to more than 140 guests. The newly expanded space has been redesigned to deliver a more elevated experience, featuring updated furniture and carpeting throughout the Club, new, regionally inspired artwork, updated restrooms and an expanded buffet with greater capacity and improved flow.

“Expansions like these give us the opportunity to not only serve more customers, but to look closely at how we’re serving them – through the design, flow and amenities provided,” said Vice President of Delta Sky Clubs and Lounge Experience Claude Roussel. “In Philadelphia, we’ve created a space with more seats, a more intuitive layout and regionally inspired art that bring the city’s character into the lounge experience.”

In Atlanta, Delta’s largest hub, three Delta Sky Clubs – A17, A Centerpoint and C37 – have undergone renovations to serve more customers and enhance the overall experience. Upgrades across the three Clubs include:

  • New furniture and carpet installations.
  • Refreshed and expanded food‑service areas and beverage bars.
  • Updated check-in areas and repositioned kiosks to streamline and expedite entry.
  • New art installations, including prints inspired by beloved Atlanta establishments.

Collectively, these upgrades increase seating capacity across the three Clubs by approximately 15%, offering more room for customers.

Delta is continuing to invest in the long-term growth of its network, with several new Clubs and expansions on the horizon:

  • Later this year, Concourse F at ATL will receive a lobby renovation, with more upgrades to come in Atlanta in the next few years.
  • Jacksonville (JAX) Delta Sky Club will be relocated and fully renovated in early 2027, expanding to roughly 10,000 square feet – tripling its current size.
  • In 2028, Tampa (TPA) Club will move to TPA’s New Airside D and receive a major expansion and renovation.
  • Las Vegas (LAS) will welcome its very first Club by 2029.
