As part of Delta’s multi-billion dollar overhaul designed to appeal to business travelers, its Sky Clubs have undergone a big transformation. In the last year, Delta has unveiled nine renovated or new clubs across the Delta system, all featuring the new Delta Sky Club design.
In just the last month, Delta’s unveiled a re-do and expansion of the club at Atlanta’s A-17.
It’s opened the first Sky Club ever out on Atlanta’s Concourse D.
And it’s built a brand new 8300 square foot perch on top of Seattle’s South Satellite Terminal near gate S-9 with big western sky views of Mt Rainier. Delta now has 38 daily departures out of Sea-Tac to 12 destinations, including Amsterdam, Beijing, Osaka and Tokyo-Narita.
Here are a few snaps of the new digs: What do you think of the new design? Please take a gander at the photos and leave your comments below! Thanks. And Happy Labor Day!

Bob E. – I am one of those Amex people. You are wrong when you say they admit everyone with an Amex card – the access is exclusive to the Platinum Amex. Furthermore, my company pays extra for the Platinum card specifically for that reason and Amex pays millions upon millions to Delta each year for that perq. We all would disagree with you.
I’ve been in three of them recently, LGA#1, ATL A17, and ATL B10. The renovations are OK, especially in B10 which was sorely in need of the work. B10 now has much better restroom capacity and the seating has been arranged much more efficiently.
The problem at all of them is that frequently it is difficult to find seats since they admit everyone and his brother-in-law.
They actually could stop the overcrowding by not admitting everyone with an Amex card or at least requiring the Amex people to have international or front cabin boarding passes.
There is always someone who will complain about any good news. Unbelievable.
The pictures of the Club in Seattle look good. I look forward to getting in there. It looks very much like the new Club on D-27 in ATL. Also very handsome but as is often the case, the devil is in the detail. Three men’s and three womens toilets. Each is in it’s own bathroom, with it’s own door. No urinals in the men’s rooms. I can’t even start to imagine what that will look like, smell like and the sanitation issues especially during high traffic periods or what the wait times will be to get a turn.
The doors to these toilets open right out into a relativly narrow hallway with women on one side of the hall and men to the other. It would seem waiting in line will be problematic and on the honor system. Believe I’ll pass on that Club if I may need to use a facility.
If they wanted members to just use the public toilets out on the concourse, why didn’t they just say that ? The bathrooms in the Club upstairs at ATL A20 by Chili’s are totally functional. Three water closets, 6 urinals and 4 sinks behind double doors. Whoever designed that must of both taken a trip and used a public bathroom before they designed it.
