Delta Skyclub + Delta ONE Lounge in Boston is game, set, match

I'll get it out of the way right away: on an aesthetic level this is one of the most beautiful lounges I have ever seen, e by far the most beautiful of the American ones, If we then add to the judgment the Delta ONE section, I can say that we are close to perfection.

Delta's policy regarding lounge access was one that began to "devalue" loyalty in exchange for the liquidity. This is because post-Covid there were simply. too many people who could access the lounges and, since Delta makes more money on credit cards than flights, the choice of who to award was quite obvious.

Location

We are located at the Boston Logan Terminal E, that is. the area of international flights. After passing the security checkpoints, one must proceed straight ahead.

The lounge is located upstairs on the left: just look up and it is impossible not to see it, because. literally takes the whole floor.

You can go up the stairs or take the elevator and you will arrive at the entrance.

Access

The door is one, but the lounges are for all intents and purposes two. The Sky Club Is for those who fly international and are SkyPriority or has a American Express Platinum And fly Delta.

Access Delta One is reserved only for passengers flying international with a ticket Delta One: in this case you will be able to access the restricted area, which is an even higher step.

The lounge

I like the halls spacious, bright and with many sessions. Here: this one has them all, plus it adds. design and services. We are really to another level compared to what you see around, and Delta has really done a tremendous job on this.

It overlooks the public area of the terminal and, as the day was of pre-storm, there was not beautiful light, but otherwise. nothing can be said.

A huge open space, seating of all kinds: impossible not to find a comfortable area. And then if you go in when it's just opened, and it's practically deserted, you can't help but find it immaculate.

The bar is a kind of artwork: would look great on a Bangkok rooftop or in a 5 star hotels in New York.

On the walls artworks, elements of design: you feel comfortable, not in a place where haste and confusion reign.

Power outlets, points of wireless charging, a series of cabins where you can isolate yourself. Nothing is lacking.

And in case of a "full house," there is also an extra section to Delta One: of course, from here you have to do a half marathon to get to the buffet, but this is Boston and the marathon is home.

Food&Beverage

On the side opposite the entrance is the buffet area.

But beyond the bar are two islands for self-service drinks: from the coffee of Starbucks, at the fountain of the Coca-Cola, flavored waters and hot drinks.

The gastronomic offerings Is not on par with what the Los Angeles lounge offers., but here I think the amount of passengers and flights that DL operates from this port of call, compared to its West Coast hub.

Despite this we have a rich offer both hot and cold and even the sicilian cannoli as dessert. And of course, being in the US, there is a maniacal attention even for those with dietary needs or problems. Not forgetting the possibility of upgrading for a fee.

Delta One Boston

Here Delta made a different choice compared to Los Angeles or JFK: this one Delta One is a restaurant, a location that, if it were in SoHo or in theUpper West Side, the bill would be no less than the 150$.

Delta's choice is similar to the strategy of Qatar: to business travelers, I do not offer a "stellar" lounge, but a 5 star service with a cuisine of the highest level. And that is exactly what it is.

Soft light, spectacular central bar counter, a level-headed environment with an equally knowledgeable staff. At the helm is Juan Pablo, the supervisor Of the lounge, which among other things speaks Italian!

I went on a flavor journey.

As amuse-bouche: clam soup.

As an appetizer a plateau worthy of the Café de Turin Nice.

And for the main course I had the steak: perhaps the least successful dish, partly because the meat was dry and the chips lemon flavored.

For dessert, a panna cotta.

All washed down by champagne, Bordeaux And also a glass of a really good wine.

In conclusion

Simply wow: in this respect Delta has given the whitewash to all its competitors. A really incredible improvement over what it was offering in 2022 around its lounges. It would be nice if we in Europe also took an example, or did like the Chinese: copy well.

The verdict

Honestly I have no idea what else you could ask for from a lounge, sure they could have thought of a spa or a runway view terrace, some devilry like virtual golf course or cinema room, but objectively we are almost at perfection
