If you find yourself in New York any time over the next month, take some time to stop by the SKY360 Lounge that Delta opened up last week. Occupying an expensive piece of real estate on 57th street and 6th avenue, this new storefront is supposed to showcase the new changes happening at Delta over the coming months.
Among the cadre of activities for the public to experience within you’ll find:
- A (complimentary) coffee and soda bar, serving cocktails in the evening, with little pods in which to sit and enjoy them. Bring your laptop for free wifi as well.
- Samplings of the new, exotic menu items inspired by Delta’s celebrity chef. As dear Catherine and I pointed out last week, this is becoming the hip thing to do among airlines.
- And my favorite, examples of the new leather coach and premium seats to be installed in the new 777 livery (pictured), integrated with the new Audio/Video On Demand (AVOD) system for your Sopranos fix.
Additionally, if you can manage to get your “friend in PR” to get you an invite, a variety of private events are happening in the evening, from an Esquire party to random hotties dropping in. I’m still trying to get there for a corporate event — keep an eye out for me.
