Delta Air Lines is deepening its commitment to Los Angeles with the opening of Phase 1 of its second Delta One Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), a 400m² space with seating for 75 guests, located on the Mezzanine level of Terminal 2. Phase 2 of this second Lounge renovation is scheduled to be completed in 2028.
Tangential to the second Delta One Lounge, Delta will add a 1,100 m² Delta Sky Club to Terminal 2, opening in 2027. These investments bring Delta’s global network to 60 lounges worldwide, holding the most expansive lounge portfolio of any U.S.-based airline.
“This investment remains congruent to our strategy of elevating the premium experience both at LAX and across our global network,” said Megan Humphreys, vice president of Delta Sky Club and Lounge Experience. “With demand for premium travel continuing to rise and our global footprint expanding, we’re thoughtfully looking at every square foot we have — designing every detail with intention and to align with the Delta One experience our customers deserve.”
Crafted for calm and comfort
The Delta One Lounge at Terminal 2 is a quiet and distinct space — differing from the larger Terminal 3 Delta One Lounge. Its focus is on all things culinary: delivering consistency in the a la carte Delta One dining experience customers are accustomed to in Terminal 3.

The Lounge boasts expansive windows that frame views of the airfield and fill the intimate space with natural light. Artwork fills the room from seven Los Angeles-based creators, bringing a sense of authenticity and connection with the city’s culture.
Amenities in the Lounge support both relaxation and refreshment, including three showers, four cabana-style bathrooms and a premium bar. Throughout the Lounge, guests can stay powered and productive with portable monitors and wireless chargers. Phase Two will renovate the entire space, crafting a new Delta One experience in line with Delta’s other Lounges.
Culinary discoveries
A curated culinary program for both T2 and T3 Lounges has been designed to deliver a high-touch dining experience complete with local flair.
“Our menu incorporates farm-fresh ingredients year-round, drawing inspiration and delectable produce from California’s rich agricultural landscape. When combined these rich ingredients create dishes that are both vibrant and grounded in the beauty of California,” shared Culinary Director Michael Rouleau.
Guests enjoy table service dining from every seat — like-for-like with offerings in T3 — complemented by a regularly rotating menu of dishes. Standouts include lamb bolognese with house-made lumache pasta, hamachi crudo featuring fish flown in daily from Japan and a crowd favorite — a classic French onion soup.
Many of the ingredients across menus are sourced from local California farms, underscoring a strong commitment to regional purveyors.
Guests can also enjoy a full premium bar that reflects Delta’s global reach through an inventive cocktail program. Signature drinks like the “Island Sapphire,” a funky blue beverage inspired by Delta’s LAX to Honolulu International Airport (HNL) route, add a sense of storytelling. Beyond the bar, guests can indulge with fresh juices like the Vitality Shot — a blend of coconut, turmeric and black pepper — smoothies, such as the cacao pea protein smoothie, coffee from Santa Cruz-based roastery, Verve, tea and more.
