The Good
- One of the largest Delta Sky Clubs in the network with plenty of room to spread out
- Local NYC craft beers on rotation keep things interesting for frequent visitors
- Excellent tarmac views of wide-body international aircraft departing
- Shower suites are well-maintained with premium products
The Bad
- Only accessible when flying Delta, no third-party access
- Morning rush before transatlantic departures creates significant crowding
- Located far from Terminal 4 security, requiring a longer walk
Pro Tips
- The local craft beer selection rotates monthly. Ask the bartender what is new from Other Half or Finback for something you cannot get outside the NYC area.
- If this Sky Club is packed, walk to the Concourse B location. It is smaller but often less crowded since most travelers stop at whichever one they hit first.
- The bagel bar at breakfast is stocked with real NYC water bagels. Grab an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese for an authentic start to your trip.
- Late evening visits after 8:00 PM are ideal. The lounge empties out as early flights board, but food and full bar service continue until close.
