The newest Delta Sky Club in Seattle (SEA) in Concourse A near gate 11 provides welcome relief to overcrowding several nice amenities.

Complicated, to say the least…

You’ll find the lounge on level 3F and can take an elevator or the stairs up to the lounge.

Seating

As you enter the lounge, there is a very attractive seating area next to a flight help desk (that was unstaffed during my visit).

Further in, there are more tables and chairs, couches, and a dining area around the buffet, with seats overlooking the landscape outside.

The lounge felt very spacious, and the natural light and greenery outside the windows quite picturesque.

Here’s a birdseye view from the Delta One Lounge above, which looks down on this lounge:

Notice the lounge wasn’t very crowded, which is quite refreshing (especially for a Delta lounge!).

Food + Drink

A buffet area in this lounge included a generous selection of salads, sandwiches, wraps, crudités, sliced meats and cheeses, soups, and several hot dishes (vegetable spring rolls, sweet chili meatballs, shrimp fired rice, and roasted garlic green beans). Dessert included coconut creme pie, summer berry compote, sliced watermelon, and various cookies (snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin).

A very respectable selection of food…

While most drinks were self-serve (coffee, tea, soft drinks, juices), a full-service bar offered both complimentary and premium paid alcohol options (I’ve included the menu below).

Restrooms + Showers

Restrooms and showers are available in this lounge: you can reserve a shower using a kiosk near the lounge entrance.

Business Center

Kudos to Delta for maintaining a business center in the lounge…I think being able to print (typically in an unforeseen circumstance) is such a value add.

CONCLUSION

Delta’s done a great job with this new lounge (the A1 Lounge is also nice, but tends to be more crowded). It’s well-appointed and tucked away in the sense that it never got crowded. SEA is not my favorite airport in terms of the comfort of common areas, but this is a great lounge to wait for your light or freshen up after your flight.
