In fact, 2024 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for the Sky Club network because Delta is officially cutting the ribbon on its long-awaited business-class-only lounges.

In addition to opening three premium lounges, the airline has plans to build four new and expanded Sky Club locations across the country.

You'll find all the latest details about Delta's new lounges below.

Estimated opening: June 2024

It's almost here.

For years, Delta was the sole "Big 3" U.S. airline not to offer a lounge designed for its long-haul business-class travelers.

American has the Flagship Lounge. United has the Polaris Lounge. And to date, Delta has offered only its membership-based Sky Club (and a few premium drink tickets) to its most lucrative customers.

But that's about to change with the opening of Delta's first-ever premium lounge, coming to New York's JFK airport this summer.

Delta says that the space, which will be located just past security in Terminal 4, will span 38,000 square feet and feature a full-service restaurant, a casual "market," dedicated wellness areas, a year-round Sky Deck and more.

Once it opens, this space will be the largest lounge in the entire Delta network.

The airline said it wasn't ready to share access policies, saying only that it'll offer a "personalized" experience for each passenger.

What that means is still up in the air, but Claude Roussel, Delta's vice president of Sky Club and lounge experience, added that "it's not enough to have beautiful spaces and exceptional offerings. Premium lounge customers should feel welcomed and known when they walk in the door, just as they would at their favorite hotel or restaurant. We look forward to providing that warm welcome and making 'premium' feel personal for each guest."

Estimated opening: Fourth quarter 2024

Delta's second premium lounge will open in Los Angeles later this year.

It'll be located adjacent to the new Sky Club, and it'll offer more than 10,000 square feet of space for flyers to spread out. This space will also feature a year-round Sky Deck with views of the apron, runways and Hollywood Hills in the distance.

You'll be able to access the new premium lounge directly from the Delta One check-in area, which opened last year to much fanfare .

Estimated opening: Fourth quarter 2024
