Delta Air Lines has introduced a private security checkpoint at its Delta One Lounge in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). This addition aligns with the premium facilities available at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), where a similar setup was launched earlier. The JFK lounge, which opened this past summer, now offers a seamless travel experience for Delta One passengers, allowing them to bypass the general airport concourse.
To access the Delta One Lounge and its amenities, travelers must hold a Delta One ticket. Domestic first-class tickets or certain Delta cobranded American Express credit cards do not grant entry. However, those with invitation-only Delta 360 status can access the lounge even when flying on domestic first-class fares. Some SkyTeam partner tickets also qualify for lounge access.
The dedicated check-in area is located in Terminal 4 of JFK, near the drop-off curb. The initial portion of this facility was available from the lounge's debut this summer. Travelers enter through sliding doors into an open-air lobby before proceeding to presecurity refreshments and check-in desks.
