I Visited All 9 Delta Sky Clubs In Atlanta…In 3 Hours!

After arriving in Atlanta, I had six hours before my connection to Seoul. I decided to challenge myself by visiting all nine Delta Sky Club airport lounges. A couple of clear favorites emerged.

My flight arrived near the A17 lounge, which was not quite open yet…by 5:30 am, a huge line had formed outside.

A17 Sky Club

The A17 Sky Club was crowded and around the dining area and bar, though there was plenty of room in the upper half of the lounge. I had a cup of coffee here to start my day. This is not an updated lounge.

Concourse A Sky Club

Nearby in the A Concourse, there’s a refurbished Sky Club right near the concourse entrance. It’s not well-marked…you have to proceed up an escalator to find the lounge.

T6 Sky Club

Terminal T is the first terminal you enter after clearing security on the domestic side of the airport. This lounge is the only Sky Club that opens at 4:30 am and it was packed.

B18 Sky Club (+ Grab And Go)

B18 has a nifty grab and go feature (much like United’s Club Fly lounge in Denver, though without barista-made coffee) though you can either take the grab and go food or visit the lounge, but not both. The lounge was extremely crowded and there was a five-minute wait even to access the lounge. Interestingly, I took the first picture below and literally seconds later there was about 30 people in line waiting to get in…

C37 Sky Club

Next up, I visited the C37 Sky Club, which was quite small and crowded.

D12 Sky Club

Delta will soon open its largest Sky Club in ATL in Concourse D that will replace both the D12 and D28 SkyClub. The “underground” D12 SkyClub was like a dungeon without any windows and very crowded, including a long line to use the restrooms.

D27 Sky Club

This was the smallest Sky Club in the airport, a tiny space that is centered around a buffet and bar.

Again, this lounge is slated for closure after the new D16 Sky Club opens this summer.

E15 Sky Club

My favorite Sky Club…E15. It was crowded too, but there was more food (like fresh blueberries and blackberries as well as a French Toast station) and shower suites…which I availed myself to.

Concourse F Sky Club

I finally made it to the F Concourse, where my flight would depart from. The Sky Club is on the mezzanine level and was crowded, but had a very nice terrace and also had shower suites.

Lunch was brought out during my visit and I was impressed by the selection, with items like St. Louis spare ribs that looked quite appetizing.

CONCLUSION

I’ll review each lounge individually, as I did in Detroit, but now you have a high level overview of your choices in ATL. I suspect the new D16 lounge will become the best, but for now I prefer the E and F Sky Clubs. All the lounges were crowded…Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world and Delta is a giant there. But I enjoyed visiting them all.
