Which Is The Best Airline Lounge in Atlanta?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Atlanta's airport is the busiest in the world! More than 100 million people land and takeoff from its five runways every year. This means it must have some of the best airline lounges. Right?
Well, you can decide for yourself which is the best airline lounge in Atlanta by watching this video.
The other day, I landed in Atlanta after a flight from Tucson, Arizona. When I looked at my connecting flight, I realized I had a four-hour layover! I decided I could either sit and read OR do something epic! So, I chose something epic: Visiting every club in the Atlanta airport in one day. This meant A LOT of walking (more than five miles) and a lot of stairs (31 flights)!
The good news? You can enjoy everything I saw without the effort. Enjoy!
And, stick around to the end to find out how long it takes to get from one end of the airport to the other in the Atlanta airport train and even how long it takes to walk across the entire Atlanta airport!
Along the way, we'll stop off at the Delta Sky Clubs in Concourses T, A, B, C, D, E, F, the Admiral's Club in Concourse T, and the Club at ATL in Concourse F.

The lounge that was emptiest - the 9th or 10th! I was terrified to see so busy lounges ! I loved the video Jeb!
So nicely done, Jeb! Thank you for all that effort. I'm planning to visit the 9 Delta lounges during my visit in Feb, but thankfully not having to film at each. I've taken notes on the highlights you mentioned!
And I plan to walk the underground tunnel.
Looking forward to the adventure even more now after your professional presentation.
B is my favorite. There seems to always be decent hot food at this sky club even now in covid times. It's one of the larger clubs in ATL so I never really have a hard time finding a place to sit.
1:05 reflect the soul of Jeb and fanatics like us: “if you like ANYTHING related to aviaton...”.
YES, doesn’t matter if the flight, the lounge, the maintenance, the logistic of food, the pilot, the control tower, the baggage... we do love any aspect of aviaton and I’m glad Jeb and others geeks share their experiences with us.
I know it was a lot of work and I bet you were exhausted, but THANK YOU for putting in so much effort into your video with all the walking and details on each lounge. wow! So helpful!! Thanks! :) Now THAT'S above and beyond for your audience. Cool.
My favourite was No. 10... Because of flying eastwards from ZRH I will be hardly in ATL. Great video - I have enjoyed each second of your video! Thank you for sharing.
Me too
Another great video. I had long layovers a few times in Atlanta and have walked through all the terminals since I like to explore. The most recent trip I took through Atlanta in 2016 I decided to get out of the airport and ride the MARTA system to check it out.
LOVED this video. Super helpful. We just moved to Atlanta from Ohio and recently got a Delta Platinum card so this detail of where the lounges are and how to get in were great.
I have been living in Japan for the past 19 years and I am moving back to the states in January. The ticket I bought has me at a 12 hour layover in Atlanta so this video was very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Jeb! I live in Atlanta and didn't know some of this information. Thanks!
8:28, I designed some of the control panels used on the tram. I think at 8:41 (right side) those are some of my panels
Great vid, the Delta Lounge in F is my personal favorite! Whenever I have a long layover in Atlanta I try to work my way over there to visit.
B, E, and F Skyclubs have always been my favorites. The Club @ F is okay when Turkish or Qatar flights aren't near departure.
Fun! Regarding the PlaneTrain - I saw signs and pictograms - thought they took a traveler to/from the city, like in eastern cities. I trotted/ran from T to C (underground concourse) for connection. On the way I asked one airline employee (immediately upon exiting the plane) and two airport workers along the way "is this how I get to concourse C?". "Oh, you're walking the right way, honey! Hurry that-a-way! Hurry now!" So much for southern hospitality. This must be how they get their daily snickers.
This is great idea! We normally get rooted on one Sky club when we pay for a day pass on a long lay over. The Club at ATL is like our second home since we have PP. I've been to Sky Club on F and the one on A ( the second one you visited). We have a long lay over in May 2022 and flying D1 internationally so Lounge hopping is not a bad idea to kill 3 hours. Seems like others have done this on the Flyer talk forum.
Being in the sign and lighting industry seeing that PF Chang’s sign partially out gave me hives. Cmon Chang’s, that’s a $200 fix to a $11,000 sign!!
Maybe they can't afford to drop $200 because they spent $11000 on the sign, lol
Zack Munson maybe they couldn’t afford it lol
I’m a Atlanta frequent flyer (internationally) the one that I prefer the most is the sky club at F concurse. The club @ atl is really crowded
My favorite clip you showed was the F concourse Mezzanine SkyClub because of the outdoor area!😁
Keep up the good work man. You genuinely seem excited when sharing these videos. I always look forward when you come out with new ones!
Thank you so much. I have a 3hr layover between DCA to ATL and ATL to ANC in June. This helps me pick one!
OMG! I am loving these videos. So well put together, thorough, informative, and refreshing! Just awesome!
I enjoyed this video. Great job. I'm binge watching your videos. I have learned so much. Thank you and Sharon!
What a GREAT video Jeb!!👏🏾👏🏾
Favorite club, if I have a longer layover, is definitely the international concourse F, better food and the outside patio is very nice.
I had a 20 minute layover in Atlanta on Christmas of 2017 and I had to get from concourse D to the main terminal. Made it to my gate in 14 minutes; as it turns out, even though I almost made my flight, they changed my gate from T4 to gate F3. I literally ran as fast as I could but, they paid for my hotel for the night and a meal. Which wasn’t bad. They let me connect in LGA before I went home to MSP
Always fly Delta and I kind of laughed that you went to all of the Sky Clubs.
I checked out your channel yesterday and I've already watched lots of your videos I like you because I like planes and your very nice
Excellent video! My favorite lounge would be in the "B" terminal! I like it's layout! Even though it was busy. That wouldn't bother me! Might find some nice people to converse with! I've never ever been in an airport lounge! Would sooo love to experience it! Thanks for all the information on these lounges at ATL! Especially how to gain access to them! I'd end up buying the top of the line membership most likely! I would love to spend the day at ATL to do just what you did. I'll book a flight on Delta with a overnight layover. Then hit all the bars in the lounges! Stay at The Renaissance Concourse Airport Hotel. Fly out the next day! Ha! Ha! Delta is one of my favorite airlines to fly! Thanks Jeb for this video again! Safe Travels to you! Stay Safe...Stay You!
I had read reviews about the Sky Clubs and chose the F concourse one on a layover. It was nice, food was better than OK, and that terminal is very nice. This video was quite the project.
I love the walk from F Concourse to the other ones. The art work on the walls is really cool.
The lounge with the outdoor patio was my favorite. 👍
Jeb I loved your Q&A video!
And after three years of climbing the AA ladder to " Platinum Pro" ive jumped off
AA in favor of Alaska Airlines. When you fly AA from The east coast PHL and CLT you are
always on very old USAIR equipment. Recently I was suprised to see what I thought were new seats! But once i sat down and bottomed out feeling the support bars under
seat cushion i realized that the seats are still very old. Its akin to putting a cover over and
old couch! No IFE as well. Plus my name suddenly " Dissapearing " from upgrade list
three times this year at PHL ( the worst AA hub).. Etc... ALASKA is giving me highest
tier level for transferring over my flying.
I already know their service is consistently
rated better than DL,AA& UA
Thanks for all you do Jeb!!!!

Great video I like the club on Concourse F the best of course absolutely love the outdoor terrace.
I have been flying Delta since 1993 and I have loved their service. I stating flying Delta's BusinessElite in 2003. The new Sky Clubs are nice but I miss the old BELs(Delta BusinessElite Lounge) and CRC(Delta Crown Room Clubs). Being an international flier most of my time is spent on E (Now F) and C. Visited the B concourse once one a lengthy layover is was old and dated and very crowed. That was some years ago. After watching your video I'll visit the Sky Club on B for a few mins then chill at the Sky Club on F outside on the Mezz
Correct the BELs were reserved for BusinessEilte travelers only so that lounges were never crowed. always nice and dark and supper quiet and chill to allow one to truly rest after a long international flight or prepare for you. I'm mad that DL got rid of the leather massaging chairs in the BELs With the new Sky CLub too crowed. no more exclusiveness. Just starting watching your videos on Sunday. I'm hocked. so what do you do other than enjoy the skies and Sky Clubs?
Great video Jeb! I like the clubs on B, E and F. They are great for plane spotting!
That was well done Jeb, what an airport very impressive.
I am so excited to watch this video and I haven’t even started. I always get lucky and land in Concourse B so I really wanted to see what my experience would be like in C! Thank you for making it!
Verdict is in! Still like B, but I was impressed with F! 3 hour layover tomorrow - may check it out! Awesome video. Thanks again!
Great video, Jeb! Would love to see a remake of this video with current Delta offerings :D
F is my favorite SkyClub in ATL. If I have enough time I will go there even if I am flying domestic.
F has better views and food, concourse E has more room
@@sunxxl01 Agreed...E is my favorite and F is a close second.
That was an ambitious undertaking! I'm always exhausted after a long layover there. My eyes and legs don't communicate enough.
This has a whole different feel with the Covid-19 pandemic.
The crowds, contact surfaces and open food buffets.
My pandemic choice = The F Lounge w/ Outdoor seating.
Great video!
As they say in the US NAVY, Jeb, BRAVO ZULU! Well Done! I enjoyed this, as I do all your outstanding videos. As an aside, that winning smile of yours makes them even more enjoyable!
I did this myself one six hour layover. And I walked about 5 miles also. It’s a great way to get in your steps. It is my favorite airport and I love the lounges. I won’t see what my favorite is because I don’t want people to go there.
I only just became a member but went to the club in B today and loved it!
Great review ! As always.
Wow I can’t believe it only took you 2 hours. ATL AIRPORT IS HUGE! You gained a new subscriber
I have done the F to T several times. My favorite part of the walk is between E and F, because you have to go through the E concourse. The first time I flew through Atlanta, 1990, I walked to my gate because I didn't see the train - weird how I missed that.
Jeb
I love your videos. Thank you for the information. It is a wonderful footnote to more pleasurable travel. All the best
I like the video I like all the clubs. To narrow it down to one club I would say number #3 . I like watching the videos you do
Nice video. I learned a lot about ATL w/out having ever been there. Very informative.
Im Platinum on Delta and to keep it this year my wife and I made a mileage run from SAT to LAX. Sat in the Sky Club and worked all day and came back home to SAT that evening. Hey its miles.
Love the new F Concourse at Atlanta. Only gotten to fly from it a couple of times. Hoping I get to in May.
Yeah, the Delta sky club in Concouse F is def my favorite cause of the food and the outdoor views!
Thank you for sharing your lounge hopping experience :) This was indeed a good video.
Last weekend had a 3 hour layover at Atlanta airport. Went to lounge in F gates. AMAZING
Great video!!! Great info..congrats..keep on going....
I've never been to ATL but this video makes me want to try out all the Delta lounges! Thanks, Jeb!
Awesome Jeb! You do love delta! Another great video, keep it up!
Last time I was at ATL I had a long layover so I am walked while the rest of the folks I was with took the train, it felt great to walk after being on flight.
I use the B club the most. I had no idea F was so much better.
Delta Sky Club @ F Concourse (Mezzanine Level)...outstanding!, great video & thx for sharing it 😉👍
Just got the Platinum Card and cant wait to see how those lounges really look like.. I’m excited 😆
Very Nice video I enjoyed it! I would had liked more information on access
Wonderful video and for me sooo interesting ... every blessing across the ocean :)
That was a great video! Maybe if you have another long layover at any other Int'l airport you can check out the other clubs!
Glad to see someone based in Atlanta! Home airport for me as well
Mark Wang me 2, so proud of our home town
Thanks for sharing.
Wow something different and was interesting and wow this airport is huge.
My favorite was 10. I liked the fact they had outdoor seating. Cool. Food looked best.
In my opinion out of the three big US carriers Delta is the best. They have comfortable seats, great customer service, friendly staff and they held on to the 747 the longest out of the three. American is always delayed and United...... I'd rather not go there.
Also Delta has the best on time performance out of all three carriers, don't forget free in flight texting :)
Like its not only you, Skytrax put them around 30th place and it is only US airline which makes it into top 50.
United I'd rather not go there, Hmm... I wonder why
100% agree. flip united i hope they go bankrupt.
In my experience, Delta has too many delays and luggage is always lost. Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive.
As always a great vlog Jeb
4 hrs just enough time for one flew south !
No.10 my favourite keep up the great work Jeb!
Great video you filmed it exactly the way we want it.
This was helpful. I have a 4hr layover in Atl on my way back home from Costa Rica in July. I definitely will pay for the one day pass.
After COVID i am going to fly to Atlanta and spent the entire day at that airport and spend time in those lounges and even take the plane train roundtrip and the 2 and a half mile underground walk roundtrip!!!
I have always preferred the Sky Club at E concourse because it used to be the international "first class" club and it holds fond memories for me. It is also close to my favorite restaurant at ATL (One Flew South). I have a lifetime executive membership, which Delta has not sold for decades. It is the best investment I have ever made.
What a review! It seemed like an exhausting feat, Jeb. The food mostly looked the same from lounge to lounge, and was not overly impressive. I believe, going by memory, that my favorite lounge shown in your report was in the E Concourse. There was a lot more of that Delta blue glass (in front of and behind the bar), private looking booth/chairs, and I noticed a piece of large artwork (abstract) that was quite attractive. Finally, the food appeared to be of a slightly better quality in the international lounge. But the one time I flew through there headed to Barcelona, my layover was too brief to allow for a lounge visit. Luckily when I do travel (not nearly enough), my Delta AE Platinum (not bragging; very lucky to have it) gains me access to the their lounges. Jeb, I envy your frequent expeditions and worldly adventures! Maybe someday I’ll “See you in the sky”! 😊
I love all of them Thanks guy
I have spent most of my ATL time in the E concourse Skyclub. The shower is nice, It is usually the one closest to my gate.
as of 2024 my favorite Delta lounge is E with F being a close second even when I fly domestic I still (if I have the time ) go far out to the E and F gates to go to those clubs. Also a honorable mention to the Amex Centurion lounge also located at gate E
B was my favorite club. By me working in a lot of fine dining restaurants that has always been busy. And I am a chef as well. . I look for great food and how things look inside. I am coming ur way Delta sky club I look forward to hopefully be working there one day soon.
Great vídeo. We wait for you in Buenos Aires- Ezeiza airport is under work to increase operations, but anyway you are welcome.
I've been to all of those over the years except the basement one in D I never knew about ! My favorite has to be the F concourse club with the outside patio, "PF Chang's Club". on A concourse is always solid and the B18 massive club is third in my book .
Very nice video! ATL also has the most gates then any airport in the US with 209 gates. Not sure about any other airports in other countries since they use a mixture of gates and stands. I need to give Skymiles a try!
I was trying to count as many gates as I could based on the photos and in the back of my mind I was thinking it looked like about 200 gates but didn't realize my guess was right. That's a lot of gates and they all look full.
Awesome video! My favorite was the 10th, I’d try to do as much spotting as possible.
You left out my United Club in Concourse T. I think its a hidden gem if you can get in. Recently renovated and fantastic views.
That outdoor lounge was niiiice! I wonder how many steps a pedometer would have recorded! Great video, Jeb!
This was awesome! I’d love to see you do this at LAX, JFK, and ORD!😸
That lounge where you got the video of the a350 I was in there a day after you the lady at the desk told me somebody else who wanted a video was in there !
Only been to the T concourse, and it was really great b/c it was small, but not crowed. Very peaceful, decent food too
Love ATL! Have flown out there 2x on day trips from DFW just to walk the massive terminals/airport. Unfortunately, only had access the AA club and the "The Club at 'F'" since flying AA.
😲 this was great!😍
I actually laughed out loud at the "If you want to know how long it takes to walk from one end to the other, keep watching!" (Or words to that affect)
There is another underground passageway between B and C Concourses, near where the Delta regional flights had their gates. It was a great shortcut between B and C when you had a flight arrive at one and leave from the other. Unfortunately, they decided to close that passageway to the public (security concerns?) so you now have to go all the way to center point to travel to the other terminal.
If you ever find yourself on a longer layover in DTW, you should do a similar comparison of the four Sky Clubs there, and how they stack up to other Delta lounges being former NWA clubs
Interesting and informative. I wish you could've compared Delta's Sky Club to the United Club, American's Admiral's Club, and the Centurion Lounge which I know won't open until 2023. If you have access, maybe you can do a feature vlog about each, and then a summary comparing them collectively in the future.
Thats actually pretty impressive you managed to visit every club at ATL in two hours! Ironically the United Club is the only one I've been to there. I liked the F concourse one the best! I don't think there's any other airport with that many clubs dedicated to one airline. Personally I like the membership experience associated with the United Club Credit Carb because it allows you to bring guests to the lounge for the same price as the Delta Reserve Card that excludes guests. Keep in mind you can access the Delta Skyclub at a reduced rate of $25 (which the regular rate I believe is $65?) if you hold any level (maybe not the one with the no annual fee?) Delta AMEX card. I often travel Delta but have my membership with the United Club because its a better deal since I'm often traveling with someone else. At Delta, American, and United it doesn't matter what airline you fly on in order to access the lounge. Also I was very confused about this when I first got my United Club membership you can access any partner lounge with your perspective membership airline. For example the United Club membership allows you to access the Lufthansa Senator Lounge or the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge. The Delta one would allow you to access the KLM Crown Lounge. With United its any lounge that falls under Star Alliance Gold and is typically any Star Alliance member airline's business class lounge. I am unfamiliar with how the Delta one works specifically. Keep in mind airlines in other countries tend to be more stringent about what airline you are ticketed on in order to access the lounge. For example in order to access the Air New Zealand Lounge with Star Alliance Gold you must be traveling on a Star Alliance carrier. Even if Air New Zealand codeshares the route your flying or is partnered with an airline in a different alliance such as Cathay Pacific you cannot access the lounge by flying an Air New Zealand codeshare airline. If your flying a codeshare airline such as Delta and Westjet or United and Hawaiian with your Delta or United Club membership this is not an issue to access the lounge as they allow you to fly any carrier in order to have access to their lounge.
I have been to the club lounge and it sucks - food options were a joke, like cheese and crackers. Seating was not comfortable either, so quickly left and happily paid to go to a bar. Delta lounge in F definitely looks the best - may have to check that out, but of course I'll probably fly into B! Great video!
Im gonna have to go with #9 simply for the outdoor seating thanks Jeb Brooks
Thanks for doing that
You should walk all of the concourses basically visiting every gate at ATL. I did it once on a four hour layover. It was a great way to kill time. I even walked in between each concourse. Boy was I tired afterwards 🤣
Kind of did that had 3 hours to kill so landed in a took off from e so walked through everything but t and f
