ATLAirport Guide

Every lounge at ATL and who gets in: Sky Clubs, Centurion and more

ATL has 8 Delta Sky Clubs, the Centurion Lounge, Admirals Club, United Club, The Club and Minute Suites. Where each is, its hours and who gets in.

ATL has eight Delta Sky Clubs. The rest are the Centurion Lounge in Concourse E, the Admirals Club and United Club in Concourse T, The Club at ATL in Concourse F and three Minute Suites. The Club at ATL needs no membership, whatever your airline. The Sky Clubs, Admirals Club and United Club tie entry to your ticket, status, pass or membership. Amex lists the Centurion Lounge for US Platinum Card holders.

Lounges by concourse: where each one is and when it opens

ATL’s amenities page differs from the directory on Sky Club A17 and Sky Club T. It also puts the Admirals Club across from Gate T10 where AA’s page says T11. It puts the Concourse D Sky Club near Gate D16 where Delta and Amex say D18. Treat its hours as the weaker source, since it disagrees with the directory and with AA, Delta and Amex.

Lounge Where Hours (ATL’s directory unless named)
Delta Sky Club, T Near Gate T7 Daily 4:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. ATL’s amenities page says near Gate T6, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Admirals Club Concourse T, past security on the left, across from Gate T11 Sun to Fri 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sat 5 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. (AA’s page)
United Club Concourse T Sun to Fri 4:45 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., Sat 4:45 a.m. to 7 p.m. (ATL’s amenities page)
Delta Sky Club, A Center Concourse A Center Daily 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Delta Sky Club, A17 Next to Gate A17 Daily 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Delta Sky Club, B Near Gate B18 Daily 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. (ATL’s amenities page)
Minute Suites, B Near Gate B24 Open 24 hours
Delta Sky Club, C Next to Gate C37 Daily 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. (ATL’s amenities page)
Delta Sky Club, D Concourse D Center, near Gate D18 per Delta Not in ATL’s directory. ATL’s amenities page gives 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. for a Sky Club near Gate D16, so check Delta for this club’s hours
Delta Sky Club, E Concourse E Center Daily 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. (ATL’s amenities page)
The Centurion Lounge Beside Gate E11 Daily 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Minute Suites, E Concourse E Center Not listed
Delta Sky Club, F Concourse F, level 2, west of center Daily 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. (ATL’s amenities page)
The Club at ATL Concourse F, mezzanine (level 2) 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. in ATL’s directory, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on The Club’s own page
Minute Suites, F Next to Gate F6 Open 24 hours

ATL’s directory lists the Admirals Club on weekdays from 4:15 a.m. and on Saturday to 8 p.m., which doesn’t match AA’s page.

Delta Sky Club access follows your ticket, status or card

Delta’s access page sets the rules for ATL’s Sky Clubs. Most routes need a same-day ticket on Delta or an eligible partner, and Delta Main Basic fares don’t qualify. Existing Lifetime Members can enter with a same-day ticket on any airline. Delta doesn’t sell new Lifetime Memberships.

Entry What Delta says
Annual membership Only Delta Medallion Members can buy or renew one. You also need a same-day boarding pass.
Delta One or SkyTeam premium cabin A same-day domestic Delta One flight works. So does Delta One on an international Delta flight, or international First or Business on a SkyTeam airline.
American Express Platinum Card 10 visits each year, on a same-day Delta-operated flight. Two guests or immediate family pay $50 a person.
Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card 15 visits each year, plus four one-time guest passes.
Centurion Card Access on a same-day Delta-operated flight, and Delta exempts it from the 3-hour rule.

Delta has discontinued the Single Visit Pass. Delta One and premium cabin passengers get no guests. Under the 3-hour rule you can enter within 3 hours of departure, and connecting customers can enter at the connecting airport any time before their flight. Platinum and Reserve Card holders who spend $75,000 in eligible purchases in a calendar year unlock unlimited visits, Delta says.

The Club at ATL takes anyone with a pass

The Club’s own page prices a Club Pass at $50, while ATL’s amenities page lists a day pass at $40. You can book up to a year ahead, and the booking isn’t refundable. Within six hours of departure you can still buy at the lounge if space allows.

The Club’s page lets Club Pass holders in up to 3 hours before departure, and Priority Pass and Lounge Key members up to 2.5 hours. Infants under 2 enter free. Children 2 and over need their own pass.

Admirals Club, United Club, Centurion and Minute Suites access

AA’s general Admirals Club page warns that One-Day Pass access may be limited or unavailable when the lounge is full. It names the Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Legend Mastercard as the one card with Admirals Club membership.

United’s club page gives no ATL-specific rules. To view your club passes, it says to download the United app. Amex’s page gives no other access rules, guest limits or wait times for the Centurion Lounge. Delta’s lounge page sends you to the American Express Loungefinder for Centurion hours.

For the Minute Suites in B, E and F, ATL’s directory gives locations and, for two of them, hours. It doesn’t carry booking rules or prices, so check with Minute Suites before you plan around one.
