Review: Delta Sky Club Newark (EWR)

I just spent a few days in New York and had a chance to check out the Delta Sky Club located in Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Overall, this is a great lounge by outstation standards and is worth a visit before or after your next Delta flight in Newark.

Delta Sky Club Newark Location

Delta operates from Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport. This is the airport’s newest, and by far the nicest, terminal and is host to a variety of airlines. To access the Sky Club, after clearing security, head down the escalators to the main concourse.

From there, follow the signs towards Gates A9-A26 and airline clubs. After a short walk you’ll see signage for the United Club to the left while the Delta Sky Club and American Airlines Admirals Club are to the right.

Delta Sky Club Newark Entry Requirements

The entry requirements for Delta Sky Clubs are some of the most complex ones out there. The easiest way to enter the lounge is by using a qualifying American Express credit card (including the AmEx Platinum and Delta Reserve cards) or by having a Sky Club membership and a same day Delta boarding pass.

Currently, Delta and American Express cardholders who don’t hit $75,000 in spend during a calendar year will be limited on the number of entries per year in an effort to reduce crowding. You can find the full list of entry requirements here.

I accessed the lounge using my American Express Platinum Card. Since my card is connected to my SkyMiles account, I just scanned my boarding pass at the kiosk and was immediately granted access.

Delta Sky Club Newark Layout

The Delta Sky Club in Terminal A replaced the old lounge in Terminal B. Opened in August 2023, the space is laid out roughly in a triangle shape and measures in at over 7,000 square feet with seating for more than 200 guests.

Upon entering the lounge you turn to the left and find the first seating area. This space consists of some high backed booth pairs along with wraparound couch style seating. While it is located next to the entrance, this felt like the most cozy part of the lounge.

Further into the lounge is the main seating area. This space runs along a glass wall which separates the lounge from the concourse below. The centerpiece is a large, live edge, wooden table with seating for eight.

Most of the seating in the lounge consists of high backed armchairs but there are a few communal seating areas, workstations, and more private seating close to the windows.
