Delta Unveils $229M Upgrade to LAX Terminal 5



As part of the efforts to promote convenient flights, the Delta Air Lines has on wednesday celebrated the completion of its three-year, $229 million terminal-wide refurbishment of Terminal 5 at Los Angeles International Airport. The carrier staged a ribbon-cutting for the opening of Delta ONE at LAX, the carrier's first premium check-in lounge with a dedicated curbside entrance, a high-design atmosphere, and a security checkpoint accessible directly from the lounge.






"The new pre-security lounge is "for our Delta ONE customers and our 360 unpublished tier customers – our highest revenue-generating customers – and is a facility that will brisk them through the experience, from the curb right to security," Jeff Robertson, VP -- Delta Sky Club, Product Development & Marketing Communication, said during a reception in the lounge, "It's about extending the onboard product to the ground."


The 3,200-square-foot Delta ONE lounge which has a stone wall, high-end finishes, was surposed  to serve about 150-200 customers per day.

"Customers who purchase Delta's VIP Select service will also be eligible to use the Delta ONE lounge at LAX," Robertson said, also adding that they will be true for Delta ONE lounges that the airline has planned for airports in New York, (in early-to-mid-2016), Atlanta, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Seattle and other Delta hub cities.

Meanwhile, Delta also just completed upgrades to its LAX Sky Club, adding 100 additional seats, new shower suites and renovated bathrooms, an updated food area with café seating, and fresh artwork respectively by L.A. artists.

The three-year Terminal 5 refurbishment program also brings upgraded food and beverage concepts, new jet bridges, an expanded ticketing lobby, four additional security screening checkpoints, new baggage carousels and international baggage recheck facilities.
