Delta Airlines Sky Club Lounge — Local services in Elizabeth

This was my first time at a Delta Sky Club and I used my Platinum to gain access before they take away that benefit. I found out that it doesn’t allow for a guest but the first two guests you bring in would be $39, so we bit the bullet and paid the fee.

For a 9 am on a Wednesday, it was pretty packed. They had some breakfast items like bagels, toast, turkey sausage, feggs (fake eggs), potatoes, and some fruit. Pretty similar to the continental breakfast you would get at a Hampton Inn.

We realized after the fact that I probably should have gone in myself first and scoped out the place to see if it was worth the extra $39. It was not. So if you have free access, of course it’s worth going to because any lounge is better than sitting at the gate. But if you have to pay? You’re better off just going to a restaurant and you might get a decent meal/drink for...

EWR's new Terminal A is splendid and hosts one of the newest Sky Clubs in the Delta system. Find wayfinding beyond security at the base of the escalators. Ascend to the third floor. You find the signature Sky Club amenities in a compact yet open air format that's very pleasing. Delta outstanding design aesthetic recently seen in Los Angeles is evident here. Plentiful seating is ideal for both singular business travelers as well as leisure companions. A buffet and beverage area provides the range of food items Delta customers expect. A wonderful bar with views of the apron allow one to view the movement of aircraft. The glass enclosed club has privacy and vantage points to the terminal within. It's possible to hear public address announcements from the terminal gates below...

This was my first time flying out of Newark and WOW, I was impressed. What a gorgeous airport.

The Delta SkyClub was second to none. When I tell you the staff was some of the best of any Sky Club - I mean it. I wish I had gotten all of their names, however it was the morning of Sat, August 23. Anthony the Bartender was awesome (give him a raise). The two ladies working at the check-in were also fantastic.

I was wearing a TWA t-shirt and upon leaving, the woman working told me stories of working with TWA when she was a Travel Agent back in it's hey day. Super cool.

The food selection (we were there at 8am-10amish) was well stocked and taken care of.

Kudos to the team. A team of people who care - now, that's...
