- Priority Lines To Get Into Delta Sky Clubs Just Mean Waiting In A Different Long Line? With cancelled and delayed flights, more passengers were in the Atlanta airport than usual. And with pipe bursts you had some club closures as well.
In case you’re wondering, this is the ‘priority’ Delta One/Diamond access line to the SkyClub in ATL … shame on your @Delta … cc: @garyleff @thriftytraveler @LoyaltyLobby 💩 pic.twitter.com/pH5QVRi6yO

You know that bad mess the general public is seeing? That’s the tip of the iceberg of underlying problems that had been there even before the latest excuses.
@ Gary — What, Delta is run by deceptive management? I am shocked.
did anyone see the dates on those posts?
Waiting for Tim Dunn to be triggered….
Great reference to PTA! So apropos to the meltdowns.
Incompetent fools!!! Just look how they did throughout the storm ordeal on their so called “never cancel airline “. Pathetic!
Somehow, the people of Ukraine found a reason to celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah.
Funny how AA is performing for it’s elite customers and UA and DL aren’t. . .hmmmm a change is a foot .
Meanwhile AA is taking care of their elite. Wow I’d never thought the day would come when AA is doing something right . However , to be fair all airlines go through it at one point or the other
Even Southwest Airlines pre-covid noted how much more business traffic Delta carries than every other US airline which explains in part why Delta’s Sky Clubs have faced so much more crowding than other airlines.
LUV has no reason to acknowledge how much more business travel a competitor carries but the facts clearly show that Delta has a higher level of business travel and elites.
@ Tim — And, how does your comment relate to the discussion at hand? Southwest doesn’t have lounges.
I’m pretty sure that the ATL Delta line was due to the pipes bursting, resulting in 5 of the lounges having to close.
