SEATTLE, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air
Lines (NYSE: DAL) - Views of Mount Rainier greet guests at the new
Delta Sky Club in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where the
airline has added a second club to meet growing travel demand at
its Pacific Northwest hub.
Construction began in late 2015, and the 21,000-square-foot
lounge, which opens Friday, stands as one of Delta's five
largest clubs. With exceptional views of the runway and the
mountain range, it creates a relaxing environment to touch down
between flights. This opening follows the Atlanta B flagship club
opening last month.
For more than two years, the airline has invested in
Delta Sky Clubs, making them another
reason to choose Delta. Seattle's
Club represents the newest in renewed thinking behind the airline's
guest experience and features local touches designed to provide a
meaningful, inviting environment for members and guests, from
modern décor seating to locally inspired art, premium drink
offerings and a first-of-its-kind, in-club spa.
Conveniently located beyond airport security between Concourses
A and B, the new club seats more than 400 customers on two
levels.
"We are constantly striving to go above and beyond for our
guests," said Claude Roussel,
Managing Director — Delta Sky Club. "In the new Seattle Delta Sky
Club, unique amenities will keep travelers plugged in, comfortable
and relaxed. From the first-class view to the local food and
beverages, the club will be a showcase of what Seattle has to offer."
Exclusive to the Seattle A/B club are:
- Spa services from Asanda Spa Lounge, featuring seated chair
massages with guided meditation audio/video by Deepak Chopra in addition to a full line of spa
and wellness products for purchase from Comfort Zone and Stay
Well
- A partnership with acclaimed Chef Ethan
Stowell, who will provide locally inspired fare exclusive to
this location
- Beecher's "World's Best" Mac & Cheese, made with a
combination of its Flagship and Just
Jack cheeses, available on the buffet
- A 60-foot suspended sculpture created by Paul Vexler and a Pike Place-inspired pixelated
mural by Craig Alan McMillan
- Large windows with View Dynamic Glass – energy efficient,
intelligently tinting windows that keep the Club temperature and
sunlight at optimal levels, eliminating glare and the need for
blinds or shades
In addition to chef crafted items, guests can enjoy a buffet
including bagels, hard-boiled eggs and yogurt for breakfast, as
well as soups, salads, veggies, crackers, dips, fruit and snacks
throughout the day.
THE BAR at Delta Sky Club offers a variety of premium and
complimentary options including Washington wines curated by Master Sommelier
Andrea Robinson, cocktails from local distilleries, Georgetown
Lucille IPA craft beer, a self-serve espresso machine and freshly
brewed Starbucks coffee.
The club's interior pays homage to the Pacific Northwest with a
heavy focus on wood, water and movement. The lounge features
30-foot ceilings with curved paneling and a mezzanine level with an
art gallery showcasing work from emerging artists and local
galleries. It will feature contemporary furniture with power
outlets near every seat. Six shower suites will be a welcome
feature for travelers transitioning between international
flights.
This new Delta Sky Club location represents the airline's
continued investment to serving the growing customer base in the
Pacific Northwest.
