Recent upgrades as a preview

Delta pointed to recent lounge upgrades as examples of how it is expanding capacity and reworking layouts.

At Philadelphia International Airport, Delta said the Sky Club doubled seating capacity from about 70 to more than 140 guests following an extensive renovation.

The redesign includes updated furniture, new regionally inspired artwork, updated restrooms and an expanded buffet designed to improve flow.
