\n The giant main airport terminal in Austin, Texas, features a hidden gem at one end: the Delta Sky Club. This lounge is one of only three permanent airport lounges in the entire airport, alongside a United Club and an American Airlines Admirals Club.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n For travelers fortunate enough to access Delta Sky Clubs, this location offers ample space for work, socializing, and even plane spotting.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n To reach the Sky Club at AUS, simply turn left after exiting security and walk to the end of the main Barbara Jordan Terminal. Be prepared for a bit of a hike, as there are no moving sidewalks to assist you.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n The Sky Club is located near gate 4, and you can access it by taking either a spiral staircase or an elevator to the second floor.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n The Austin Sky Club operates from 4:15 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Friday, and from 4:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Saturdays.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Spanning 9,000 square feet, the Austin Delta Sky Club is relatively small compared to other Delta Sky Clubs.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Upon entering, you’ll notice the rugged, Texas-inspired interior featuring dark wood and metal, along with artwork by local Texas artists. A notable piece is a sign in the bathroom area displaying the city\u2019s unofficial motto: \u201cKeep Austin Weird.\u201d<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n A metal art piece in the bathroom hallway.

I was so hungry that I forgot to snap a photo!<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n (Photo by Tiffani Sherman)<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Additionally, the buffet included a variety of cold salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Exiting the food area, you\u2019ll find a large bar with the bar itself centrally located, surrounded by various seating options.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n A striking glass wine tower serves as a visually appealing and climate-controlled storage for colorful bottles.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n (Photo by Tiffani Sherman)<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n The bar also offers a selection of cocktails and several local beers on tap.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Continuing around the circular layout, you\u2019ll find a self-serve beverage station featuring coffee, a fountain with Coca-Cola drinks, and an area with water, lemonade, and iced tea.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n One minor inconvenience is that this is the only indoor self-service beverage station, so if you\u2019re in the food area, you\u2019ll need to step out to grab a drink.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n But hey, it\u2019s definitely a first-world problem!<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Past the bar, you\u2019ll find a room with several workstations designed with wood accents for sound control and privacy.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n A standout feature of the Austin Sky Club is the covered Sky Deck outdoor patio area. Equipped with fans and heaters, it provides a comfortable space available year-round.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n (Photo by Tiffani Sherman)<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Eligible passengers can enter the Austin Delta Sky Club three hours before their flight\u2019s scheduled departure, provided they have a same-day boarding pass for travel on a Delta flight or a partner airline.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Ways to access the lounge<\/span><\/a> include having a Sky Club membership, flying on a Delta One ticket, or possessing the right credit card.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Medallion members of the Delta SkyMiles program can purchase an annual Sky Club membership for $695 or 69,500 miles. An executive membership costs $1,495 or 149,500 miles, allowing access for the member and two guests.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n Where is the Delta Sky Club at AUS?<\/span>
