Six months after JFK Airport opened the first-ever Delta One Lounge, Los Angeles is leveling up as well. The new space, which opened last month, offers a very specific luxury experience to travelers both business and leisure, one that involves almost no interaction with gen pop.
The service, which is available only to those traveling on a Delta One ticket (those slumming it in domestic first class will have to settle for the original Sky Club unless they’re a 360 member), starts outside the terminal. Fliers enter a discreetly marked door on the lower arrivals level of Terminal 3, to find the Delta One at LAX check-in area, where white-glove service whisks you through security and onto your own private elevators. This portion of the experience launched in May 2023, but where it previously delivered travelers into the Sky Club it now leads into the more exclusive section.
A few of the notable luxuries that travelers will be treated to once inside: nap pods, zero-gravity chairs, massage chairs, Hyperice recovery tools and special shower suites, plus shoeshine and valet steaming. The finishes themselves are also a step up from the pre-existing Sky Club, with Missoni providing accent pillows, vases and coffee table books for both the library lounge and outdoor terrace.
And, of course, there’s the food. The space features a separate bar (where they serve craft cocktails inspired by international Delta hubs), a sushi bar (offering rolls and bento boxes) a dessert table and a dining room. While the JFK location enlisted local restaurateur Danny Meyer to design a three-course tasting menu, the West Coast offering is (fittingly) slightly more casual: there are à la carte selections for breakfast and all-day dining, with culinary input from local favorites like Sqirl, The Butchers Daughter and Verve. It’s all so deluxe you can almost forget you’re on a business trip.
