The terminal 3 annex is now open. It is located to the left of the elevator. It has food similar to the regular SC and a small self serve bar. At least now it is definitely quieter.

Are there shower/change amenities in the T3 SkyClub? IIRC there weren't much (if any) when it was the Virgin Loft, but that was a few years ago.

Wow! What a sad state Delta is in when they can sell a premium product and provide little in return. I usually fly Alaska / Qantas but decided to give Delta a try since the fare was $1200 cheaper.
i am travelling on a Delta One D class ticket between Seattle and Sydney. Delta's Seattle lounge is actually not bad and the soup and salad is on par with what Alaska offers in Seattle. The flight down to Seattle did not have a meal service but bananas and packaged snacks were offered. This was a mid afternoon flight so it maybe a timing issue.
However, T2 Sky Club pales in comparison to the LAX Qantas lounge. I was surprised to see the same soup and salad combination on offer during dinner time. I feel like I lived out of a soup kitchen all day. That said ' the paper plates were of the highest quality.
How hard is it to offer a hot meal before boarding the evening international flights? I was actually expecting a truely global 5 star experience at the LAX GATEWAY. Why do Americans put up with such mediocre offerings?
Oh well - next up is the older 777 to Sydney. The Delta crew are ok but the seats have no matress and no pajamas.
I have learned my lesson. I have just booked next month's flight to Seattle on Qantas / Alaska Airlines. It will be a long time before I try Delta again.

Before being forced to switch terminals at LAX, DL had a better lounge and also a dedicated D1 check in lounge. With an international ticket in business class, you're also allowed to use the KE lounge in TBIT, but it's one of the less impressive international lounges.

I wish I could argue with you about any of this....but it's all accurate.

You act like every airline is supposed to be on the same timeline for product updates.
DL could and should offer mattress pads, better food in the lounges and better food on board. Soft product improvements would go a long way.

Glad KLM dumped the lounge and uses the OW Biz lounge for their WBC pax now! Even the Dutch realized that it's awful....
