"Delta's 2024 Plan: Introducing Premium Airport Lounges and Expanded Sky Clubs"

Delta Air Lines plans to introduce a new "premium" airport lounge at New York's JFK International Airport in June, featuring a full-service brasserie, market, and wellness areas. The airline faced backlash for tightening access to its Sky Club lounges, but is now moving towards a spend-based status model. Amex is offering updates to its Delta SkyMiles credit cards, including flight and restaurant credits, as part of its partnership with Delta. The close corporate relationship between Delta and Amex has been lucrative, with Delta reportedly receiving $6.8 billion from Amex in 2023.
