Delta flyers passing through Salt Lake City may not want to leave the airport.
The Salt Lake City airport (SLC), along with Delta, opened a brand-new canyon-inspired terminal today that's sure to mesmerize passengers. And while the terminal is itself is a massive improvement compared to the one it replaces, perhaps the most impressive transformation can be seen at the new Sky Club.
In fact, with today's grand opening, the more-than 28,000 square foot Salt Lake City Sky Club instantly becomes Delta's flagship lounge and its largest. Boasting sweeping views of the airfield and the nearby Wasatch Range — and featuring bespoke furnishings — there's so much to love about the new space.
Delta's senior vice president of airport customer service and cargo, Eric Phillips said it best. "The club can be a destination in and of itself. That was the vision: to make Delta Sky Clubs a reason to fly Delta," Phillips told TPG in an exclusive interview.
Indeed, with the one-of-a-kind SLC Sky Club, Delta created a destination inside the new airport. TPG got an exclusive preview of the new space. Read on for our take on why you may not want to leave the airport.

A flagship lounge deserves prime placement at the airport. And that's exactly where you'll find the new SLC Sky Club.
As you clear security, you'll pass through the massive hallway dubbed "The Canyon." This is the terminal's main artery, and it'll be right in the middle of Concourse A once the second half of the redevelopment project is complete — possibly as soon as 2022.
