Delta Air Lines has opened a second Delta Sky Club at New York JFK International Airport featuring seating for up to 250 guests. The lounge is located post security in Terminal 4 near Gate A7.

When designing the new Delta Sky Club elements such as a cozy fireplace lounge and nooks tucked away seating that evokes a speakeasy. There will be a sky deck offering unobstructed ramp views and a variety of outdoor seating. Delta puts a heavy emphasis on locally inspired foods in their Sky Clubs. At JFK, Chef Elyssa Heller owner of Edith’s Eatery & Grocery will oversee food offerings. Dishes include brisket hash sandwiches, vegetarian talks and parfaits. Edith’s famous iced Café Slushie will be featured in the Sky Club.
