Delta Sky Club

Delta Sky Club is located in the S gate which required you to take the shuttle to get there. It's large and modernized with great lighting. Food include the standard Delta line up, which has veggie dips, cheese, hummus and your usual drinks and crackers/cookies. Well drinks are free as well. Personally, I prefer the Alaskan Board Room for the food selection and convenience, but of course, waiting in the lounge beats waiting at the gates.

The new Sky Club is a vast improvement over the old one at Seatac, but for some reason I'm still not all that impressed.  Maybe it's the travel snob in me peeking out, but I just wasn't all that thrilled with the atmosphere or amenities for a brand spankin' new elite lounge.

Granted, I was there for an early morning flight so they were still getting things set up for the day, so it may not have had its face on yet.  But it kind of felt like they were trying to showcase the swanky new bar and workstations more than provide things like snacks and a comfortable environment.  You know, like a lounge?

And as far as the bar goes, I much prefer pouring my own drinks, thank you very much.  I don' t need you raising an eyebrow when I try to order up a triple bloody at 6:30am.  What?  A guy needs a little help sleeping on the plane sometimes.  I'm sure I'm probably part of the reason they're moving away from self service booze in Sky Clubs around the country.

Anyway, a recent change of jobs means I probably won't be visiting this (or any) Sky Club again any time soon, but props to Delta for showing the S concourse a little love here in Seattle.

Better than sitting by the gate!
