Delta Sky Club customers traveling through
Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) in America can now use a
new, nature-inspired lounge on the upper level of the recently
expanded G concourse.
With seating for more than 450, the airport’s third Club adds more than 21,000
square feet of premium space to Delta’s lounge portfolio, making
it by far the largest at Delta’s Minneapolis hub.
The MSP-G Club is the second lounge to have opened this
year, and the third successive new location in the Midwest
(following Chicago and Kansas City).
The Club includes a
year-round, all-weather 110-seat Sky Deck which is bookended by two completely
open-air elements – one of which features a living plant wall,
with seasonal foliage refreshed three times annually – and is
suffused with natural light streaming from the overhead skylight.
Guests unwinding in this space can also enjoy a drink from
one of the Club’s premium bars, located on the deck.
Additional amenities of the lounge include: three self-check-in
kiosks; a
full buffet; two premium bars; and three soundproof booths.
In addition to regular menu rotations, the
MSP-G Club will highlight recipes from Bravo’s Top Chef alum
Justin Sutherland as part of Delta Sky Club’s Local Flavor
program which showcases hometown chefs on a quarterly rotating
basis.
A Twin Cities native,
Justin specializes in contemporary Southern cuisine and guests of
the MSP-G Club will be able to enjoy his take on classics
like chicken and andouille gumbo, shrimp and grits, pimento
cheeseburger sliders and banana pudding through mid-July.
“We
continue to raise the bar with every location we open, and the new
MSP Club is no exception,” said Claude Roussel, Delta Sky Club –
Managing Director. “Our goal was to create a space that reflects
the natural beauty of the Great Lakes region, transporting and
inspiring customers through the Club’s design, all while
delivering a full suite of amenities and our signature
hospitality.”
Delta will operate
over 330 peak-day flights to 120 destinations from MSP this summer, with service across
the globe to cities such as Amsterdam, Cancun, Paris, Keflavik
(Iceland), London, Montréal, Vancouver and more. Delta is also the
only carrier providing nonstop service from MSP to Asia, with
daily service to Seoul and Tokyo-Haneda.
Additionally, the
airline will restart daily nonstop service from MSP to
Albuquerque, N.M.; Buffalo, N.Y.; and Richmond, Va., as well as
seasonal nonstop service between MSP and Colorado Springs, Colo.,
all beginning 5 June.
Recent renovations to Gates
G18-G22, including relocated and enlarged restrooms, expanded gate
seating areas and new concessions, laid the groundwork for the
new Club lounge.
Slated for
completion by the end of 2025, future renovations will update the
terminal with new terrazzo flooring; refreshed ceilings and
lighting fixtures; upgraded digital signage; and more.
Refurbished and more spacious gate areas will mirror gate improvements at
other Delta terminals in LAX, LGA, ORD and SLC.
