Delta Sky Club — Local services in Jefferson Township

Flew La Guardia to O'Hare and back the same day to New York for a quick lunch meeting in Chicago. I was looking forward to checking this lounge off my list. First impressions were very positive. Clean, calm, well maintained. It was a Friday late afternoon and flight would be past 5pm. I liked the buffet options which were all laid out in one area but had like 2 rows and categories. I wasn't hungry but I wasn't planning on having dinner anymore when I landed so I was specifically looking for one thing: the Chicago Hotdog cart, which was found on the further end, next to the other bar. I met William there and he was such a warm and friendly guy and made sure I did get the Chicago Hotdog version and advised to not put ketchup or it otherwise won't be LOL. That hotdog plus a glass of champagne plus sitting by the best area seeing all the planes and our specific plane made for the best Friday afternoon waiting in the lounge. What made the 5-star experience was direct boarding from the lounge to the plane itself. Didn't even need to get out of the lounge and line up outside. Just a few of us who were in the lounge and went ahead to our seats. Pretty sweet! Looking forward to enjoying this lounge again on my next business trips! Great job, Delta Skyclub...

With our first trip to OHare as Delta Medallion / AMEX Reserve card holders, having a 4 hour layover we headed right to the Sky Club (which thankfully was right next to our gate E7), and arriving at noon we should have expected things to be bustling but didn't expect a 10 minute wait (with the Sky Club at capacity). The staff was very friendly in communicating the wait, and at throughout we were greeted with smiles, and when we got inside, we saw a plethora of open seats. The men's restroom only had 2 stalls & one urinal. The "catacomb" layout was unique, with 3 different food serving area: fruit, chips & coffee near the front by the restroom, sandwiches and salad by the very small bar (smallest I've seen yet) across the room from the hot bar (pastas and soups). Despite the layout, the selection of food choices actually seemed to surpass our home club in Minneapolis, and the location allowed for great views of the interior gates and runways. The longer we were here, the more we observed the amazing customer service at the Ohare location, from the engagement of the staff, offers to bring us drinks, and even one walking around bringing coconut creme pies to members. Blown away by...

Near gate E6, the Sky Club had plenty of seating at 10:30AM, and the seating wascomfy. The choices for breakfast were varied (eggs, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and more) with Dasani water, coffee, juices, canned soda, and a self-serve bar(bourbon, whiskey, tequila, vodka with mixers. and a selection of red & white wines). If you prefer beer, there are two on tap. At 11AM, they brought out lunch items (carrots, broccoli, celery, hummus, lettuce, chicken salad and more).

The view of the planes and tarmac through large windows was entertaining. That also had a selection of newspapers and magazines. Outlets for power(AC or USB) were available, but not at every seat.

They had the requisite restrooms (small), a business center, and 2 TVs. The fireplace had comfortable seating around it. Lots of art was on the wall or in cases set into the wall. The staff was friendly, making sure all were comfortable, and filling empty dishes or replacing empty bottles. This was a wonderful place to rest, relax,...
