A new Delta Sky Club is on track to open in Charlotte next year, marking the airline’s first lounge in North Carolina’s largest airport.
“Delta Sky Club is looking forward to opening its first-ever location in Charlotte next year. We look forward to sharing more details in the coming months,” a spokesperson from Delta said in a statement shared with T+L.
The airline’s expansion at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport is well underway, with the renovated Concourse A poised to be completed next fall. When the project is complete, Delta will debut 10 new gates along with the lounge.
Charlotte has served as a major connecting hub for American Airlines for over four decades, as the legacy airline operates more than 70% of all flights from the airport, according to most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
In comparison, Delta serves just 2% of flights out of Charlotte — but the Atlanta-based airline is poised to grow in this Southern city when Concourse A is fully renovated. The opening of a new lounge from a legacy competitor signals further growth of the airport and potentially even lower fares as competition increases down the line.
The network of Delta Sky Clubs is regarded among the best airport lounges for travelers looking to dine and relax before their flight. In 2023 alone, the airline opened a secondary 14,000-square-foot location at its New York-JFK hub and expanded its outposts in Boston and Nashville.
As these lounges have soared in popularity, the airline has taken multiple measures over the past years to restrict access. Currently, only annual Sky Club memberships are available to Delta Medallion elite members for purchase. Besides having an eligible premium cabin ticket, select Delta’s cobranded cards with American Express still allow for unlimited access to the Sky Clubs, but access will be capped at 15 annual visits in 2025 to reduce overcrowding.

Copenhagen is home to some of the world’s most sought after dinner reservations. And while a few have earned three-Michelin stars as well as the title of ‘World’s Best Restaurant’ the most satisfying meal I had in all of 2023 was at Restaurant Jordnær , located a short commuter train ride away from the main city in Gentofte. Chef Eric Vildgaard and his wife and partner Tina Kragh Vildgaard have crafted a tasting menu and dining experience that maintain excitement and satisfaction throughout its many courses — and earned the restaurant two Michelin stars as well as 2023 “Restaurant of the Year” in Denmark by the Danish Dining Guide. I spoke with Chef Vildgaard, along with Tina Kragh Vildgaard, about their shared passion for Jordnær and their vision to provide every guest with a memorable evening.
