March 2026
Today I'm off to Madrid, via New York and Paris, for a quick weekend trip to see Real Madrid at home at famed Bernabéu. And with a seat in the Emirates VIP Suite.
First stop is the beautiful new DIA Delta Sky Club. Delta took over the old Admirals Club and tripled the space to now occupy the entirety of what used to be the old Continental Airlines lounge.
Delta First Class Denver to JFK
At around T-45 I headed down to the gate where I discovered why the SkyClub was so packed at 5:30am... seven Delta departures in the 6a-7a window... JFK, ATL, DTW, MSP, LAX, SEA and SLC.

Very nice cabin interior on a brand new A321 neo.
Gorgeous sunrise over DIA.
Delicious Delta quiche.
Nice view of JFK before we return to land.
Delta One Lounge and the TWA Hotel
With an early arrival, I had over an hour before my lunch reservation at the Paris Café at the TWA Hotel. Time to check-out the JFK Sky Club.
Next up is a visit to the impressive Delta One Lounge.
Then over to the Air Train for the quick ride to Terminal 5.
And the TWA Hotel.
The scenic walkway. LOL
Iconic departures and arrivals board.
How cool is this? Converted to a lounge and bar although not open until 4pm.
The Paris Café by Jean-Georges.
