Delta One passengers departing from Los Angeles are in for a treat:
Now open on the arrivals level of the airport is a dedicated premium check-in facility for Delta One transcontinental or international business class customers and for all Delta 360 elite customers. Before checking in you can take advantage of premium snacks and drinks and upscale bathrooms. You’ll even be offered a hot or cold towel during check-in.
Once you’re checked in, there’s a private security line for Delta One passengers with PreCheck and non Pre-Check options available.
I have experienced that a small handful of times, including at the ANA lounge in Fukuoka, Japan, and at Lufthansa’s First Class Terminal in Frankfurt. It’s always a very cool experience and it’s awesome that Delta was able to arrange that for their premium passengers in LAX!
Tel Aviv’s Fattal Terminal offers that, but only if you pony up the $500 cost to use their security and lounge facilities.
And after that, the elevator takes you directly to Delta’s new SkyClub, which has expanded its footprint indoors and on the outdoor terrace.
Complimentary kosher meals are available upon request.
In August, an airside walking connection to the TBIT terminal will open and early next year, Delta will open a business class lounge at the airport. Until then, the business class lounge advantage at the airport still goes to American and United.
Delta also plans to open a business class lounge in JFK next year.
LAX is the only airport in the world that is a hub for American, Delta, and United. Isn’t it grand what a little competition can do?

Yes we need more competition maybe jfk & ewr should combine so we can have a big competition local
I don’t think people in Monsey or Long Island will care for that suggestion. There’s also no space.
Can’t agree more with Dan,
I am from Monsey and always try to avoid JFK unless I arrive midnight or early before 7am, Monsey to JFK can can sometimes take 1.5h-2.2h vs EWR average 45-55m and boy oh boy the traffic to JFK is hell, I always try to avoid JFK hell, I mostly use EWR and HPN (when traveling domestic)
Amazing what you get for 750.000 miles one way ticket
LOL!
Literally
Who pays the extra costs for a dedicated TSA line?
I’d assume Delta bears those costs.
Love competition! So why are you for the AA-JetBlue merger?
Erm. There is no AA-JetBlue merger.
you know what i mean
As I said before, because AA and JetBlue are both too small to fight against Delta and United’s massive NYC operations.
With a limited partnership, they have been able to add flights and provide that market with a 3rd competitor.
AA is too small?? They’re the largest airline in the US and world by multiple metrics! What are you talking about??
Read what I wrote.
They are too small to effectively compete in the NYC market. They fly less than half the routes and passengers that Delta and United do from NYC.
By partnering with JetBlue in NYC they can compete and operate flights like JFK-TLV that aren’t otherwise viable.
“AA and JetBlue are both too small to fight against Delta and United’s massive NYC operations” isn’t the same as “too small to effectively compete in the NYC market. They fly less than half the routes and passengers that Delta and United do from NYC.”
The first statement implies they aren’t large enough nationwide (ot internationally) to compete in NYC.
The second statement claims they don’t already have enough presence in a specific market to effectively compete there.
But to be fair that’s a better argument than most commenters have been offering, namely lack of free beer on JetBlue for AA status holders.
They traded their NYC market for Deltas Boston market when US Air and American merged.
Delta is much larger than American in Boston and NYC.
Are VS Upper Class passengers also gonna get to use this?
Will virgin gold get access the same way that they get D1 checkin in JFK?
I don’t think they get that now at JFK since set up new check-in systems, with business reserved only for business and sky priority with its own lanes (used to be all together). And the real question is will business class on partner airlines get to use it or only D1
I believe 360 and virgin gold get D1 access in JFK
Virgin has a private terminal for upper class checkin at Heathrow. It’s amazing.
Which D1 passengers also get to use. That’s why I’m curious if the reverse is gonna apply in LAX
“Delta also plans to open a business class lounge in JFK next year.”
Don’t they already have Sky Club in JFK T4?
It would be exclusively for Business class passengers unlike their sky clubs which anyone with the right credit card can access. Kinda like United’s Polaris lounges compared to their clubs
