You may discover six Framery cellphone cubicles behind that wall, which hopefully will not get too busy since they’re considerably hidden (and much from the remainder of the lounge’s facilities).

I have been to extra Sky Golf equipment than I can rely, however once I rode the escalator as much as the primary lounge space, I virtually could not imagine my eyes.

Clearly, lounges look (and really feel) higher with out vacationers in them throughout media previews, however I used to be instantly impressed by what I noticed.

Hovering ceilings, loads of pure gentle, a plethora of seating choices and crowd pleasing colours — every part makes a newly constructed Sky Membership the very best of U.S. airline choices.

Observe that that is Delta’s second Sky Membership in SLC. The primary, which opened in September 2020, is in Concourse A and likewise contains a new design, however this one positively feels extra luxurious.

Plus, with 34,000 extra sq. toes of lounge capability, overcrowding ought to positively be far much less widespread.

To the left is the primary sitting space, with comfortable couches, recliners, tables and extra.

To the suitable, you will discover extra seating, particularly across the home windows, which might be the place you will discover me throughout my SLC layovers. In any case, this lounge in all probability boasts the very best views of any window at SLC — you will have limitless vistas of planes and the Wasatch mountains within the background.

Apart from the primary seating areas, you will discover a number of extra nooks across the perimeter of the lounge with extra seats.

In whole, there are 600 seats on this area, but it surely would not really feel like one massive room because of all of the partitions and the way in which Delta divided the rooms.

One innovation that Delta is debuting right here known as the Immersion Room.

Delta’s design group wanted to reply the query, “What do you do with an interior-facing lounge space?” Their answer was the Immersion Room.

As an alternative of merely putting in a TV wall blasting the information or sports activities, the airline went with seven screens that show rotating digital vistas of Utah’s most well-known sights, like Monument Valley and Pink Pine Lake. I really like this emphasis on rest areas, and hope to see extra Immersion Rooms at different new Sky Golf equipment.

As all the time, Delta’s artwork curation program was on full show on this area. I cherished the piece close to the buffet that exhibits 4 figures made out of colourful pc keyboard keys.

One other putting design component that basically helps elevate the area is the lighting — from the sconces to the chandeliers to the lamps, this feels extra like a 4 Seasons foyer than an airport.

Delta Sky Membership SLC eating

One other space the place Sky Golf equipment shine (and this is applicable even to older areas) is the eating expertise.

This outpost isn’t any exception, although sadly, there’s just one buffet. The excellent news is that it has two similar sides, however I think about it’s going to nonetheless get busy throughout peak departure banks.

Anticipate a rotating choice of native and worldwide delicacies. The complete choice wasn’t on show throughout my go to, however even the charcuterie board, hummus station and fruit plates simply seemed way more appetizing than what I’ve seen in American Airways or United Airways lounges in current months.

The lounge’s signature bar is gorgeous, and the bartenders are on the able to whip up your favourite drink. (The signature espresso martini was successful.)

Given how luxurious it feels, I might even take into account sitting within the bar space to make amends for work or socialize.

For these trying to quench their nonalcoholic cravings, there are two beverage partitions on the edges of the lounge. Right here you will discover fountain sodas, Eversys espresso machines, Starbucks drip coffees and extra.
