点评:Treating myself to a business class flight from Orlando to Athens, I took advantage of the lounge pass during a lengthy layover. I presented my pass and was told I was at the wrong lounge. Confusion must have been written on my face, the “gatekeeper” said the Delta One Lounge was on the top level. Entering Delta One was comparable to the gates opening to Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz. The enormous open space made me feel as though I was the only one there, my mouth agape at endless buffet, boutique bar, and comfy seating arrangements. Although the buffet was tempting, I chose à la carte dining knowing that I had selected a seafood dinner for the flight shortly after 18:15 departure. Service exceeded the level of Orlando’s finest restaurants. I never once summoned a server; he seemed to read my mind and appear.
Superior meal service is only one thing I enjoyed. Showers are available. It was a nice experience to shower and shave, to keep stubble off my face early the next morning. Upon entering, I asked where I should leave my luggage [I travel light, a 21-inch bag and 15-inch under-seat case for items needed during flights]. An attendant said to leave them wherever I chose, that staff kept an eye on things. I felt comfortable doing this, something that a former Miami resident usually would not.
There’s only One lounge at JFK Airport. Make that Delta One!☺
翻译:我犒劳自己,买了一张从奥兰多飞往雅典的商务舱机票,并在漫长的转机期间使用了贵宾休息室通行证。我出示通行证后,却被告知我走错了休息室。我脸上肯定写满了困惑,那位“工作人员”告诉我,达美至臻商务舱休息室在顶层。进入达美至臻商务舱休息室的感觉,就像走进了《绿野仙踪》里的翡翠城。宽敞的空间让我感觉自己仿佛是这里唯一的客人,琳琅满目的自助餐、精致的酒吧和舒适的座椅让我目瞪口呆。虽然自助餐很诱人,但我还是选择了单点,因为我知道在18:15起飞后不久,我已经预订了海鲜晚餐。这里的服务甚至超过了奥兰多最好的餐厅。我一次都没叫过服务员,他们仿佛能读懂我的心思,主动出现。
优质的餐饮服务只是我喜欢的众多方面之一。这里还提供淋浴设施。淋浴和刮胡子的感觉真好,这样第二天早上就能保持清爽的脸庞。进入候机厅后,我询问行李应该放在哪里(我出行很轻便,只有一个21英寸的包和一个15英寸的座位下行李箱,用来装飞行途中需要的物品)。一位工作人员告诉我随便放在哪里都可以,他们会照看。我感觉很放心,这对于一个曾经住在迈阿密的人来说,通常是不会这么放心的。
肯尼迪机场只有一个贵宾休息室。那就是达美航空的头等舱休息室!☺
