Delta Air Lines has unveiled its most exclusive destination yet: the Delta One Lounge at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, setting a new benchmark for luxury in air travel.

The Delta One Lounge, larger than any Delta Sky Club, is designed to provide an unparalleled experience for premium travellers.

Located between Concourses A and B in Terminal 4, the expansive 39,000 sqft Delta One Lounge offers a myriad of experiences and amenities, from fine dining and spa-like wellness treatments to valet services.

Claude Roussel, Vice President – Delta Sky Clubs and Lounge Experience, remarked,

Our teams have spared no detail to ensure Delta One Lounge guests receive a truly memorable experience. It’s a new era for Delta – this Lounge is raising the bar across the board, from the amenities to the food and beverage offerings to the level of personalised service. We want our guests to feel the difference here; moreover, we want them to feel welcomed and valued from the moment they step through the door.

An Immersive Manhattan Experience

The Delta One Lounge is designed to capture the essence of Manhattan, featuring unique touches that pay homage to iconic New York City landmarks.

The premium bar, adorned with an Art Deco-inspired lighting fixture, evokes the elegance of Radio City Music Hall.

The Market and Bakery, with its white-marble counters, is a nod to retro New York delicatessens, while fan-shaped marble mosaic tiles in the dining area honour the city’s famed brasseries.

In the dining room, a lighting fixture inspired by the Brooklyn Bridge’s overlapping strands adds a touch of local charm.

Additionally, the Lounge features a gallery with artworks from around the world, reflecting JFK’s role as a global gateway.

Guests can also enjoy premium beverage cart service without leaving their seats.

The wellness area, complete with nine reservable relaxation pods featuring full-body massage chairs and treatments from Grown-Alchemist certified therapists, offers a sanctuary for relaxation.

Adjacent to this is the Serenity Lounge, designed to promote pre-flight tranquillity with specialty lighting that mimics circadian rhythms.

For those needing to freshen up, the Lounge offers eight shower suites equipped with luxurious amenities.

A Complete Premium Journey

From the moment Delta One customers arrive at JFK, they are treated to an end-to-end premium experience.

Elite Service agents greet guests at the dedicated check-in area with warm towels and refreshments.

Later this year, a private TSA screening lane will be added for an even more exclusive experience.

Delta’s commitment to premium service extends beyond JFK. New Delta One Lounges will soon open at Los Angeles and Boston Logan International airports, further enhancing the travel experience for Delta’s premium customers.

Delta’s extensive network from JFK includes over 200 peak-day departures to more than 90 destinations worldwide.

This summer, Delta is operating its largest trans-Atlantic schedule ever from JFK, including new destinations such as Naples and the resumption of services to Shannon, Ireland.

This winter, Delta, in partnership with LATAM, will offer the most extensive service between New York and South America.
