Delta is elevating the travel experience with the introduction of two new lounges at SEA: a 24,000-square-foot Delta One Lounge and a Delta Sky Club, located across from Gate A11.
The Delta One Lounge, designed for exclusivity, seats 149 indoors and 72 on a scenic terrace with views of Mt. Rainier. The Delta Sky Club, accommodating 183 guests, features expansive windows showcasing the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty.
These spaces, the fourth Delta One Lounge and third new Delta Sky Club in Delta’s network, bring the total to 57 lounges worldwide.
The lounges reflect Seattle’s aesthetic with stone accents, wood paneling, and a color palette of emerald, navy, and rust. Local artwork, including Pam Kueny Taylor’s “Time to Migrate,” adds cultural depth.
Sustainability is prioritized with smart windows, all-electric energy, and reusable dinnerware, creating an eco-friendly environment.
Delta One passengers also benefit from a concierge-style check-in and access to TSA PreCheck Touchless ID for expedited security, a service expanding to all Delta hubs by year-end.
