The Good

- Three shower suites make wait times shorter than most Sky Clubs
- Michigan craft beer selection highlights local breweries like Bell's and Founders
- Quiet work alcove in the back is excellent for focused calls
The Bad
- Morning rush from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM fills the lounge as Delta's transcon flights depart
- Long walk from some Concourse A gates at the far end
- Only accessible when flying Delta
Pro Tips
- The Detroit-style pizza bites rotate but are available most days. Ask the staff when the next batch comes out because they go fast.
- Bell's Two Hearted Ale is brewed in Kalamazoo and consistently ranked among the best IPAs in America. It is complimentary here.
- If this Sky Club is crowded, walk to the A68 location farther down the concourse. It tends to be less busy in the afternoon.
- Request a shower suite on arrival. With three stalls this is one of the better Sky Club shower situations, but they still fill up during morning rush.
