Delta Air Lines will officially lift the curtain on its newest pair of lounges at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on June 26th, introducing a dual-level retreat that sets a new standard for airport luxury and local immersion. I received an invite to tour the premises ahead of the official opening, so here are my initial thoughts and a few pics of these gorgeous spaces.<\/p>\n

With the opening of the highly anticipated Delta One Lounge and a refreshed Delta Sky Club, the airline isn't just showcasing comfort \u2014 it's serving Seattle\u2019s natural beauty, culinary culture, and local values.<\/p>\n

In our conversation with Claude Roussel, VP of Sky Club and Lounge Experience, he expressed that the mission for his role has been to turn the Delta Sky Club — but particularly more so the Delta One Lounges — into one of the main reasons to fly Delta. From my experience in this Delta One Lounge, I'd argue that they certainly have achieved that.<\/p>\n

The entrance to both spaces is shared. Travelers are greeted inside a beautiful entrance and then directed to elevators taking you to either the Delta One Lounge or the Sky Club. Delta One passengers have no time limit for their entrance. Yes, you can come into the lounge even if there are seven hours before your flight.<\/p>\n

Delta One Lounge Seattle<\/span><\/h2>\n

Located at A11, and perched on the top floor and reserved exclusively for Delta One passengers and select elite guests, this new 221-seat lounge is all about indulgence \u2014 Pacific Northwest style.<\/p>\n

The lounge offers sweeping, 270-degree vistas with seating that wraps around the terrace (my absolutely favorite space), offering stunning views of Mt. Rainier\/Tahoma (for those days when the mountain is out) \u2014 a visual anchor that grounds the space in its surroundings.<\/p>\n

This lounge will be the first in Seattle to have outdoor space available for passengers, though I\u2019m curious to see what it will look like during the winter. There are ceiling fans for when it gets toasty, but I spotted no heaters for the winter.<\/p>\n

After asking around, I learned that they will be providing heated blankets when the weather is inclement. The terrace isn't fully open. There are glass panes with open gaps to let the fresh air in — but unfortunately, these slats also let in noise from the highway and Light Link Rail.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of seating options, from casual lounge areas to more traditional dining tables. Most lounge seating includes charging ports, though dining areas offer fewer.<\/p>\n

Dining<\/span><\/h3>\n

Foodies will revel in the open kitchen and dining, an interactive culinary journey led by top chefs. The food is available as long as the lounge is open, although items rotate throughout the day.<\/p>\n

For breakfast, you can expect local pastries baked fresh each morning, Dungeness crab Benedict eggs, wood-fired Dutch baby pancakes topped with Rainier cherry compote, showcasing locally sourced products. They also serve brew from Seattle\u2019s own Caffe Umbria.<\/p>\n
