<\/a><\/p>\n After\u00a0our visit at the American Airlines Admirals Club at Honolulu, we\u00a0moved over to\u00a0the\u00a0Delta Sky Club lounge.\u00a0Delta relocated\u00a0this lounge two years ago to the current location.\u00a0Previously the\u00a0location was downstairs in the garden area of\u00a0the main overseas terminal. The new location is just down the front hall from the American Admirals Club. After entering the main Oversea Terminal hall, turn left towards the Diamond Concourse and 15 seconds later you’re at the Delta Sky Club. The entrance doors are a rich\u00a0dark stained\u00a0wood and it’s marked by the bright red Delta Sky Club sign.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>Reception desk<\/p>\n The associate quickly checked our party in and we entered the club. For entry I used my Executive Membership for the Delta Sky Club, which allows you to guest your immediate family or 2 additional persons. I could have also used the American Express’s Delta Reserve card or the American Express Platinum Card for myself, but neither of those cards have guesting privileges. I picked up my Executive Membership by redeeming it with 160,000 Sky Bonus points from the small company Sky Bonus program that\u00a0Delta offers. This program has really been watered down during the last couple years, and sadly Delta has also pulled this redemption (Executive Membership) option from their menu of rewards.<\/p>\n This was the first time I had used the new location so I was excited to see how the club design stacked up. Upon entering the lounge its main area is a long rectangular space that you enter in the center. Against the back wall the main seating\u00a0is broken up into three or four\u00a0areas or sections. To the left are a couple of the seating sections with a business area against the front wall. The backside of the reception desk is large periodical display area with all sorts of magazines and newspapers.<\/p>\n From an interiors point there is a lot going on in this space. The club finishes are a mixture of the dark finished woods contrasted against bright white wall segments and ceiling. It’s a bold design that I think works well in a Hawaiian airport. The seats are black leather with dark wood accents and there is a fair amount of brushed aluminum finishes in the light fixtures and such. The obvious issue with the space is there is no, and I mean absolutely no, daylighting to speak of. No windows, no skylights, nada outdoor light. To address this issue the designers used indirect light troches to brighten the ceiling space. It mostly works.<\/p>\n <\/a>Looking back into the right side of the space<\/p>\n <\/a>One of the back wall main seating sections<\/p>\n <\/a>Business work area<\/p>\n <\/a>Open desk area<\/p>\n <\/a>Small TV area right side<\/p>\n <\/a>Periodical shelves<\/p>\n <\/a>In right section looking back into left<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Dark wood, charcoal carpet, black leather seats, white walls and wood shutters, brushed aluminum fixtures make this a modern and yet Hawaiian space<\/p>\n Going left from the reception area is more seating followed by the main dining space. After that is a large TV room with extra seating. In the far back left corner is the hallways that lead to the restrooms. \u00a0The dining space is large and offers the traditional Delta food fare; which has really gotten good over the years. Unlike Minneapolis Saint Paul<\/span><\/a> and Salt Lake City<\/a><\/span> this club was never busy during our visit and Delta seems to have sized the club correctly in proportions to the Airport. Alaska Airlines and Delta have also ended their reciprocal lounge agreements, and with all the Alaska Airline flights to Hawaii, I would imagine this has been a positive influence on the lounges occupancy levels.<\/p>\n <\/a>Looking back down to right side from dining<\/p>\n <\/a>Caffeine<\/p>\n <\/a>Caffeine enhancements<\/p>\n <\/a>\u00a0Soda machine<\/p>\n <\/a>Juice<\/p>\n <\/a>Small bar area<\/p>\n <\/a>Snacks<\/p>\n <\/a>Crackers<\/p>\n <\/a>Veggies<\/p>\n <\/a>Hot Soup<\/p>\n <\/a>Salads<\/p>\n <\/a>Dessert<\/p>\n <\/a>Dining area<\/p>\n Large<\/a> TV space<\/p>\n <\/a>Restroom hall<\/p>\n <\/a>Men’s room<\/p>\n <\/a>Open seating area looking left<\/p>\nIntroduction: Honolulu for Spring Break<\/strong><\/a>
