Delta Air Lines has opened the first phase of its
second Delta One Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), reinforcing
its long-term investment in premium travel. Located on the mezzanine level of
Terminal 2, the new 4,000-square-foot lounge accommodates 75 guests and marks
the next step in Delta's expansion at its largest West Coast hub.
Four premium lounges planned by 2028
The new Delta One Lounge is part of a broader
redevelopment that will continue through 2028. Next year, Delta will also open
an 11,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club in Terminal 2 before completing the full
renovation of the Delta One Lounge in 2028.
Once all projects are finished, Delta will operate
four lounge spaces at LAX—two Delta One Lounges and two Delta Sky
Clubs—covering a combined 60,000 square feet with seating for more than 1,000
guests. The expansion also brings Delta's global lounge portfolio to 60
locations, the largest among U.S. airlines.
“This investment remains congruent to our strategy of
elevating the premium experience both at LAX and across our global network,”
said Megan Humphreys, Vice President of Delta Sky Club and Lounge Experience.
“With demand for premium travel continuing to rise and our global footprint
expanding, we’re thoughtfully looking at every square foot we have — designing
every detail with intention and to align with the Delta One experience our
customers deserve.”
Culinary experience takes center stage
Unlike the larger Delta One Lounge in Terminal 3, the
new Terminal 2 facility places a strong emphasis on fine dining. Guests enjoy
full table service with an à la carte menu featuring dishes such as lamb
bolognese, hamachi crudo and classic French onion soup.
Breakfast options range from acai bowls and huevos
rancheros to fresh pastries supplied daily by Los Angeles bakery Sqirl. Many
ingredients are sourced from California farms, while the premium bar features
signature cocktails inspired by Delta's international network, alongside fresh
juices, smoothies and specialty coffee.
The lounge also offers three showers, four
cabana-style bathrooms, a premium bar, wireless charging stations, portable
monitors and artwork created by seven Los Angeles-based artists.
Strengthening Delta's West Coast gateway
Delta currently operates up to 151 daily departures
from LAX to 50 destinations. The airline is continuing to expand its
international network with new nonstop services to Hong Kong and Chicago
O'Hare, while flights to Vancouver will begin in November 2026 and Newark in
April 2027.
The investments in lounges and premium facilities are
part of Delta's broader strategy to strengthen Los Angeles as its primary West
Coast gateway ahead of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
