I stopped by the Delta Sky Club next to gate A17 and it was a great lounge! There are two levels and two food bars, and the food was tasty and fresh today. The staff is friendly and it's clean. There's ton of seating available, which is great. Overall, it was a great experience!
They are crowded. Too crowded. As a Diamond Medallion member and holder of an AmEx Reserve card (both of which provide me access to sky clubs), I’m finding myself losing interest in continuing my membership in sky clubs. Not just ATL. Most airports. Delta needs to find a solution because I have to believe it’s going to lead to a loss of loyal customers like me.
I like the Sky Club. I'm glad to be a member; it's a nice respite from the frenetic energy of the terminal.That being said, I strongly prefer the one in Concourse B over A. A is nice and all, but B feels larger and less full. Furthermore B has a larger bar with more bartenders, taps, and liquor stock. When I was in A tonight they were out of several liquors and mix (specifically for their featured cocktail). A also only has two taps.Will I go back to the A club? Sure. But if I have time then I'll likely make the walk to B instead.
Unlike other great airlines like Alaska or Hawaiian, these lounges are closed to anyone who even paid full price for a first class seat. You have to be a mega-mileage members or a Platinum AE holder. Your expensive first class ticket gets you nothing at Delta's lounges.
Had a two hour layover. Pleasant lounge with plenty of room. It had two sections and both areas had hot/cold menus. I only went to the lower level bar, so not sure if this was the only bar. Nice variety of drinks, but just stuck to the complimentary champagne. ??
Not sure what went wrong with Delta lounge policy during/after Covid. it has gone mad for sure. Lounges are way overrated now. They need to rethink this.
Fantastic lounge! Busy, but kept clean and welcoming. Good selection of food, but do not expect to be mind blown, it is a lounge.
A fantastic Delta Lounge. Great people at the front desk. Food selection is extensive and plentiful.
In the Delta Lounge in concourse B, go see Mac for the best bartending service you will ever experience. He is professional, fun, and very efficient. He will customize your drink to however you like, such as how much ice and mixer you like. Mac will make your layover in Atlanta worth the wait.
The Sky Clubs, especially in Atlanta, are too big, impersonal, and crowded. The food is often a combination of strange salads, cold pasta, and unusual soups like pesto. It would be nice if they offered even an option at some routine normal food choices without trying to always be "fancy." I mean, how about pot of beef chili or a taco bar. There is often a line for drinks, especially in the B terminal.
