Delta Air Lines opened its third Delta One Lounge, a series of swanky spaces reserved for first-class fliers, at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) on December 11—and it’s asking you to forget what you think you know about airport food.

Located behind a speakeasy-style door within the Delta Sky Club in Concourse E, the intimate 6,700-square-foot hideaway features three-course meals and creative craft cocktails, and pays homage to the city’s maritime and higher education heritage.

Here’s what you need to know about the new Delta One Lounge at Boston Logan International Airport.

Compared to the other Delta One Lounges (at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport, which opened in June and October 2024, respectively), there is a much stronger emphasis in the Boston lounge on food and drink.

The menu was developed by acclaimed Chef Ed Brown and focuses on “elevated takes on seafood classics,” Delta stated.

“We want guests of this Delta One Lounge to feel like VIPs at the city’s finest private dining establishment, one that draws inspiration from the history and culinary traditions of Boston,” Claude Roussel, vice president of Delta Sky Club and Lounge experiences, said in a press release.

The menu is arranged as three courses, with choices like loaded New England shellfish chowder, jumbo lump crab cake, or crispy cauliflower for the starter; a warm Maine lobster roll, cod Milanese, or a Snake River skirt steak with chimichurri and fries for the main; and Boston cream pie and cannoli for dessert. The airline said customers should be able to experience the full set in under an hour.

In addition to a selection of complimentary wine and beer (including options from local breweries such as Allagash and Maine Beer Company), a rotating collection of craft cocktails is included with admission. Some current offerings include a North End Espresso Martini (with Crop Organic Vodka, Vanilla Bean Caffè Borghetti Coffee Liqueur, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream, espresso, and TCHO organic cocoa powder) and a Beantown Bramble (made with Fords Gin, Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco, organic agave, fresh lemon, and simple syrup). A handful of premium wines and spirits (ranging from Clase Azul Reposado to Rémy Martin Louis VIII) are also available for purchase, either by card, cash, or Delta frequent flier miles.
