I visited the first-ever Delta One Lounge, complete with a mini spa, terrace, and full restaurant. It’s as bougie as I expected.

  • Delta Air Lines debuted its first-ever lounge just for business-class customers.
  • The nearly 40,000-square-foot space features a wellness center, terrace, and full restaurant.
  • The new lounge should help alleviate crowds at Delta’s more widely accessible SkyClub lounges.

Delta Air Lines has debuted its highly anticipated Delta One Lounge at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The nearly 40,000-square-foot lounge builds on the airline’s famous SkyClubs with high-class perks like a wellness center, terrace, and full-service restaurant.

The bougie-ness isn’t surprising considering Delta’s premium-focused reputation. It’s the only carrier of the Big 3 with sliding doors in business class, for example, and free WiFi on more than 650 of its domestic planes.

But it wasn’t the first to open a dedicated business-class-only space; American Airlines and United Airlines run their respective Flagship and Polaris lounges. It also wasn’t the first of the three to incorporate a separate restaurant or spa-like amenities.

Still, after previewing the space ahead of its grand opening, I think Delta’s is the best of its kind thanks to a wide suite of amenities that all conveniently fit into one exclusive space.

Plus, frequent SkyClub goers at JFK can rejoice, as the new Delta One Lounge could help split up the crowds.
