Overview
- Delta confirmed in early June that it will build a second Delta One Lounge in LAX Terminal 2 with a target opening in 2027.
- The airline says the Terminal 2 facility will include a private Delta One check-in, an exclusive security checkpoint, and direct transport to the lounge.
- Delta has published an access policy that limits entry to same-day Delta One travelers, invitation-only Delta 360 first-class guests, and select partner airline premium cabin passengers.
- Analysts and leaked internal notes frame the lounge as one piece of a wider plan to grow Delta’s LAX network and market share before the 2028 Olympics, but Delta has not released final size, amenity, or detailed timeline information.
- Industry coverage warns LAX is a tough, competitive market and notes open questions about how Delta will manage guest distribution between lounges and whether added long‑haul flying will be profitable.
