Delta Sky Club Minneapolis Quick Overview
This article is Delta Sky Club Minneapolis Quick Overview. It is a review of my experience visiting the main Sky Club at Minneapolis near the G and F gates prior to my flight to New York.
This article is part of my New York Weekend Adventure.
Access
I can access the Delta Sky Club when I fly Delta thanks to my American Express Platinum Card.
If you do not have the Platinum card, you can use the PGA Lounge Minneapolis thanks to Priority Pass. That lounge leaves a lot to be desired, however, each guest gets a $15 credit that you can use at three restaurants at the airport. This is a great way to have a good breakfast prior to your flight.
Arrival
Upon arrival for the Delta Sky Club Minneapolis Quick Overview, I joined a line of about five other guests checking in.
After waiting for three minutes, an agent invited me to the desk. I provided my American Express card and scanned my boarding pass.
The agent said the scanner was not working and I had to scan it about five times before she asked me for my flight number. It appeared that the credit card reader also was having issued. The agent apologized on the delay and she asked if I visited the lounge before. I said yes and she thanked me and welcomed me inside.
The lounge was about 70% occupied when I arrived.
Near the entrance, you can sign up for CLEAR if you would like.
Since I am already a CLEAR member, I bypassed the station and made my way into the lounge.
I’d recommend getting a membership because it can save a lot of time. Please consider using my link when signing up.
