点评:Delta has clearly done its homework with this debut. After experiencing this new Delta One Lounge at JFK, it’s evident they have leapfrogged Polaris and Flagship to reclaim the top spot in the US biz lounge game.
Ambiance: The design is elegant and modern, feeling more like a fancy hotel lobby than an airport terminal. It retains the signature Delta Sky Club 'scent' and branding but takes the luxury up several notches. It is clean, sophisticated, and arguably the most high-end interior in their network.
Crowding: Exclusivity varies by time of day. During the morning or late night, the space is serene, and you’ll have no trouble finding prime seating on the outdoor terrace or near the fireplace. However, mid-day crowding is noticeable. While you can still find a seat, the lounge loses the exclusive feel, and wait times for the Brasserie (their fine dining) and the spa increase significantly.
Amenities: This lounge checks almost every major box: exclusive entrance and security, a full buffet, sit-down fine dining, spacious shower suites, a mini wellness spa, and direct gate access for some flights. Although it lacks a dedicated kids' play area or family room, this reinforces the adult, 'quiet luxury' vibe of the brand.
Dining: The Market buffet offers high-quality options, but the Brasserie is the highlight. The menu isn't massive, but the execution is superb and the dishes are genuinely enjoyable. Service in the dining room was great, comparable to a solid fine dining restaurant. It’s not Michelin-level, but for a business class lounge, it is exactly where it needs to be.
Overall, Delta has proven they understand the modern luxury traveler. This product has a major sway in my decision-making: if I’m flying out of JFK, I'd choose Delta or its partners just to access this lounge. It is currently the best lounge experience I’ve had with any airline.
翻译:达美航空显然为此次亮相做了充分的准备。体验过肯尼迪机场全新的达美至臻商务舱休息室后,很明显,他们已经超越了北极星商务舱和旗舰商务舱,重新夺回了美国商务舱休息室的桂冠。
氛围:设计优雅现代,更像是一家高档酒店的大堂,而非机场航站楼。它保留了达美航空Sky Club的标志性“气味”和品牌标识,但奢华程度更上一层楼。这里干净整洁,精致考究,堪称达美航空网络中最为高端的休息室。
拥挤程度:休息室的私密性会随时间而变化。清晨或深夜,这里宁静祥和,您很容易就能在户外露台或壁炉旁找到理想的座位。然而,中午时分人流明显增多。虽然您仍然可以找到座位,但休息室的私密性会大打折扣,而且餐厅(他们的高级餐厅)和水疗中心的等候时间也会显著增加。
设施:这家贵宾休息室几乎满足了所有主要需求:专属入口和安保、丰盛的自助餐、精致的正餐、宽敞的淋浴套间、迷你水疗中心,以及部分航班的直达登机口。虽然缺少专门的儿童游乐区或家庭休息室,但这反而强化了该品牌“静谧奢华”的成人专属氛围。
餐饮:Market自助餐厅提供高品质的菜品,但Brasserie餐厅才是亮点。菜单虽然不算丰富,但菜品制作精良,令人回味无穷。餐厅服务一流,堪比高级餐厅。虽然达不到米其林星级餐厅的水平,但对于商务舱休息室来说,已经恰到好处。
总而言之,达美航空已经证明他们了解现代奢华旅客的需求。这家休息室在我做决定时起着至关重要的作用:如果我从肯尼迪机场出发,我会选择达美航空或其合作伙伴,仅仅是为了使用这家休息室。目前为止,这是我体验过的所有航空公司休息室中最好的。
