FAQ on Policy Change Beginning June 1, 2022

Why are Clubs so crowded these days?

Delta Sky Club has invested heavily in the lounge experience, and more people value this amenity than ever before. With so many returning to travel this year, we are seeing high volumes of Delta Sky Club visitors.

Why is Delta implementing this policy change?

The Delta Sky Club team has worked hard to create a best-in-class experience in our lounges, and we want to ensure that experience can be widely enjoyed by Delta customers. That said, our priority is to balance the popularity of the Delta Sky Club experience with the premium atmosphere and service we wish to provide for our guests.

Is this change permanent?

This is a permanent change to the Delta Sky Club policy.

Are there any exceptions to this policy?

Delta 360 Members, American Express Centurion cardholders, and Lifetime Delta Sky Club Members will be exempt from this policy change.

Will this affect my Club access on layovers?

This policy change will not affect Club access for customers visiting the lounges before connecting flights.

What if my flight is delayed?

Flight delays or interruptions will have no impact on Club access, as long as customers enter the Club within three hours of their originally scheduled departure time.

What if my ticketed flight is outside the three-hour window, but I’m standing by for a flight earlier in the day?

Club access is allowed in this case, provided customers intend to board the earlier flight if a seat becomes available.

Does Delta have plans for Clubs exclusive to Delta One customers?

Delta is committed to providing a singular experience to our most loyal customers. Right now, we are in the planning stages for exclusive Delta One Clubs at LAX and JFK as we look for additional ways to expand our premium offerings. We are excited about this opportunity to further enhance the Delta Sky Club experience for Delta One customers, and more details will be coming soon.

I purchased a Club membership because I value unrestricted access to Delta Sky Clubs. I want a refund.

The Delta Sky Club team values your membership and regrets the impact of these changes. To discuss a prorated refund of your paid unexpired membership term, please contact the Delta Sky Club Service Center.
