Delta Sky Club

Oh, how I love the Delta Sky Club. Recently I got an American Express Platinum card which gives me access to the lounge anywhere there is a DSC, or SkyTeam Lounge in places like CDG, AMS, or LHR. My trip from KOA to FLL was the first time I got to try this fancy club out, and boy was I excited!

I flew on the inaugural flight from KOA to SEA on an empty stomach, so my first plan of action was to go to the Sky Club freshen up and get a bite to eat. Luckily my gate was next to the club, and headed for the elevator to the sky... club. I was greeted by 3 lovely Delta agents, passed them my Amex and my boarding pass from KOA to SEA with my seat number on it, they explained how it all works and I was in! By the way, you must have a seat assignment on your boarding pass to gain access to the club. A seat request card will not allow you in, from what I have heard.

The bathroom was clean and spacious with a shower as well. I washed up and headed for the breakfast bar. There were bagels, muffins, toast, fresh fruit, oatmeal, and cereal to eat and all you can drink coffee, hot chocolate, orange juice, water, and even alcoholic beverages. I was on a tight schedule so I grabbed a bagel with cream cheese an orange juice and hot chocolate and headed back to my gate for my flight to ATL. The service was pleasant, the seating area was spacious, had lots of comfortable seats, many plugs to charge the gadgets, and great high speed wifi.

Arriving in ATL I went from Terminal A to B and found a Sky Club adjacent to my gate to FLL. There I was greeted by a nice gentleman, he scanned my boarding pass from SEA to ATL and my AMEX and I was granted access. They really make you feel like you are important. I used the clean restroom (and didn't have to wait), grabbed a soup for the road and went to my gate to catch my flight to FLL. The DSC in ATL, Terminal B was very crowded at 3:30pm and a seat was hard to find. The bar was full, but the broccoli cheese soup was tasty and hot. They also had pasta salad, arugula salad and some rolls. A much healthier option than the Terminal food options.

Needless to say, I am proud to have access to this very prestigious and elite club and I don't have to buy drinks or food at the airport anymore.
