So who wins the CVG / MSP Delta Skyclub Showdown?Īfter my 2 trips to Delta Skyclubs in Cincinnati (CVG) and Minneapolis (MSP), let’s rank these 2 Delta airport lounges on a variety of categories ![]() I spent my time at the Minneapolis Delta Skyclub at one of the “business” cubicles working on a post and reviewing images (I lead an exciting life, I know), and it was not very long before my flight departed and I had to make my way to the gate. In addition to the typical snacks and drinks that you’ll find at most domestic airport lounges, there was hot soup which was quite tasty – mine was a jambalaya. It was also a little bit later in the day (around noon), since my flight left in the early afternoon. That makes sense since unlike Cincinnati, Minneapolis is still a Delta hub. The MSP Delta Lounge seemed a little bigger than the Cincinnati airport Delta lounge, and it was definitely more crowded. ![]() I visited the one at Concourse C, pictured (blurrily) below. There is one for the F and G concourses located at the beginning of the F concourse, and another MSP Delta Lounge in Concourse C next to Gate C12. There are actually 2 Delta Sk圜lubs in the Minneapolis airport. ![]() (SEE ALSO: Roadtrip Rule #1: If you see a giant living creature, you…) If you’re into planespotting, you have a nice view of the airport and runways, and when I was there, I caught the sun rising out of the eastern skyĪfter returning from our county trip to 3 states, 2 provinces, 2 different countries and 4 border crossings, it was time to head to the airport to go back home. There is a bar at the Delta CVG airport lounge (little early to be drinking!)Īnd the lounge also had a variety of breakfast foods out, including oatmeal / yogurt (not pictured) Now with many fewer flights per day out of Cincinnati, I’d imagine there are far fewer Delta elites in Cincinnati than there USED to be. Part of that was probably due to the nature of the time of day (early in the morning), but also the CVG Delta Sky Club was built back when Cincinnati was a Delta hub. There was a LOT of seating in the CVG Delta lounge, and there were not very many other passengers. After you check in by showing your credentials (in my case Amex Platinum card and same day Delta boarding pass), you go into the main atrium. Once you enter the Delta lounge CVG, you go up a flight of stairs (or elevator) and into the CVG Delta Skyclub itself. The Cincinnati / CVG Delta Lounge is located in the B Terminal (where all Delta flights are located), near Gate B14 (SEE ALSO: Should pets be allowed in airport lounges like the Centurion Lounge Las Vegas?) ![]() Note that UNLIKE the Amex Centurion lounges, only the cardholder gets Delta lounge access – any additional guests (including spouse and children) cost extra ($29 for the first 2 guests and the regular Day Pass price for any additional guests) You do need to show your American Express Platinum card as well as a same day Delta Boarding Pass (though I’ve heard that a Seat Request or standby request form will work too). The Amex Platinum card lets the cardholder as well as authorized users into Delta Skyclub lounges, but ONLY when you’re flying a Delta flight. I had access to both the MSP Delta lounge and the CVG Delta lounge due to my American Express Platinum card. As part of my Minnesota / Wisconsin / Manitoba / North Dakota / Ontario county trip, I attended 2 different Delta lounge clubs and thought that I’d share my thoughts of the MSP Delta lounge (Minneapolis) and the CVG Delta Lounge (Cincinnati).
