The Good
- Intimate, less-crowded Sky Club experience since Delta has fewer flights from Love Field
- Local Dallas craft beers on tap including Deep Ellum and Peticolas are excellent
- Brisket mac and cheese at lunch is a genuine Texas comfort food highlight
The Bad
- No showers available at this location
- Only accessible to Delta flyers, leaving the majority of Love Field passengers without options
- Closes at 8:00 PM which limits access for evening departures
Pro Tips
- The brisket mac and cheese appears at lunch around 11:30 AM and uses real smoked brisket. It is the best food item here and worth planning your lounge visit around.
- Ask for Peticolas Velvet Hammer on tap. It is a local Dallas craft beer with a smooth, malty profile and not widely available outside of North Texas.
- Since Delta has limited flights from Love Field, this Sky Club is rarely crowded. You can usually find a seat even during typical peak hours.
- The window seats overlooking the runway face west. In the afternoon, the light is warm and offers great views of Southwest 737s lining up for takeoff.

Do I need to fly Delta to enter?

How does this compare to the DFW Delta Sky Club?
