Delta

I need to start taking note of where in the airport I am. I write reviews about Lounges, (a noble cause without question) but I often neglect to put which lounge it is. That's exciting for readers because they won't know which lounge they will end up in if they read my posts.

When I booked the flight, I rationalized that paying another $70 to have one connection instead of two connections was too much. That's why I am in Cincinnati for the next four hours. The...

Fat man at the lounge strikes again! As does another lounge venue for a TPOL food eating contest.   I arrived late to the airport today because NY traffic was exceptionally bad. That left me with...

The real time blogging begins with a review of the Delta Sky Club MSP. Per usual, I'm in the back of a Delta flight on my way back to New York City.  With only one...

Before you slander me for a nonexistent drinking problem, realize that I was one of many thirsty patrons at the Delta SkyClub bar waiting for first call. What's life without music? What's a lounge without alcohol?

My favorite Delta Sky Club is in Atlanta. My second favorite is the one in Salt Lake City. Unlike the self-serve style of the one in Detroit or the one I went to in Minneapolis, the Sky Club in SLC is worth the [free] cost of admission courtesy of the Amex Platinum card.

Am I crazy? Wasn't I just here? The Delta Sky Lounge at Detro Metro Airport is exactly like the one in Minneapolis. This one boasts a grand entrance with a front desk that makes you think you are checking into the Waldorf. Instead, after taking the escalator up one level, you find yourself back in the mediocrity that is the Delta Sky Lounge.

"Where is the bar?" I asked the check-in hostess. She directed me to go to the back of the lounge where to my surprise I found two things: 1) A decent selection of alcoholic beverages 2) no bartender. I was expecting more from this lounge because Minneapolis is a hub for Delta. Compared to the Atlanta Sky Lounge which is one of the best lounges I have visited, this one was average.
