Delta Airlines Sky Club Chicago Lounge
The older design of the Delta Sky Club at Chicago O'Hare International Airport symbolises Delta's subpar standing in comparison to rivals American and United.
The old-fashioned dark architecture contrasts with Delta's new modern style, which is dominated by white shapes, and the Delta Sky Club at Chicago O'Hare International Airport is in desperate need of refurbishment. The lounge has its quirks, such as an odd quiet section and a little stand-in for a business centre, but it does offer enough seating, a good assortment of snacks, and a fun self-serve bar.
Chicago Delta Airlines Sky Club lounge review
Overall, the Delta Airlines Sky Club Chicago Lounge has a worn-out but well-maintained vibe. If it ever worked, an electric fireplace in the first room would provide a comforting touch. Large windows provide views of the tarmac and plenty natural light.
The design is relatively ordinary and emphasises dark tones: dark blue chairs, black and dark tile, black worktops, dark grey carpets, with white marble and indoor plans as accents. It dates back to the days of Northwest Airlines.
There are four small cube chairs in the very back, which are by far the most private and sought-after positions, as well as open seating in the first two rooms, counter-style tables with privacy barriers under the windows in the back room, and open seating in the first room. The lounge has numerous power outlets, however they may potentially be out of service.
Visitors can store their bags in a safe locker room with a few chairs in a nook in the corridor that is accessible from the reception desk. This area may be the busiest in the lounge and has both a bag storage area and secure (but non-electronic) lockers. After that, the corridor opens up to a row of three rooms: a dining space with a self-service bar, a bigger seating area with a central buffet, and finally, a seating area with a customer service desk.
Food
The menu features appetisers, soups, salads, and cookies in line with what Delta generally provides in domestic lounges. The beverage selection, however, is a highlight. A touch-screen, ultra-modern Starbucks machine is located on the buffet island, along with a variety of syrups. For those who are less tech-savvy, there is also drip coffee.
Bar
The self-serve bar in the back area of the lounge, where you may make your own cocktails and poor your own wine, will, nevertheless, be the lounge's crowning achievement for many. Additionally on tap are Goose Island and Miller Lite. Enjoy it while you can since even though newer lounges normally provide a wider assortment of drinks, premium selections are usually more expensive and even the most basic ones can only be purchased from the bartender.
Business Facilities
Instead of a full-sized business centre, there is a printer and fax machine in a little, hot room off to the side. Customers can use a self-service kiosk to print boarding cards or make any modifications to their schedules there as well.Bathrooms
