I haven't seen the new SFO club yet, but I agree, the Virgin Atlantic clubhouse blows away any Delta club I've ever seen (and, for that matter, the Centurion clubs).

It really does seem like Delta is trying to up their game with this new SFO club. Granted, the complimentary items seem to the same as the rest of the system, but with a focus on art & design, plus the introduction of real china, bringing in special food and wine programs....these are all very, very good signs.

I was pretty amazed actually at how busy the club was in only its 2nd day of existence. The old club barely had a dozen people in it at any one time. The new club must have had 40 something people in it.

I think a lot of people didn't even know the old club existed. I was talking to a friend recently who is a regular Sky Club user and she was saying that she had just been in SFO and was disappointed to see (that she thought) there wasn't a club; I tried to explain to her the situation. Certainly the new one will be easier to find.

couldn't agree more on both accounts. When your competing against the likes of UA, B6 and AA, you need something like the new SFO club to set you apart from the rest. This should do the trick.

I think so as well plus, the few times I was at the previous club, it easily could take up to 15 minutes with TSA precheck to get through security. Might I say that yesterday, I was through in a minute or two. No wait at all and the terminal seemed packed.

I don't think it has anything to do with adding international flights at SFO cause those flights would have to use the international terminal which has no airside connection to this lounge

It would theoretically be possible for Delta to board flights at one terminal and deplane at another. I believe that the NRT flights used to do this but I could be wrong. Also, who knows, perhaps they have plans to expand domestic D1 service--I'm not really sure where else this could work, maybe ATL for more international connections?
