Best Delta Sky Club at Atlanta Airport?
Hi all,
We will be flying into Atlanta (from the U.K.) and connecting onto a different flight to Florida and was wondering which of the Sky Clubs are the best there? Are you allowed to go to a different terminal than the one your flight departs from - and if so, how easy is this? I’ve heard some Sky Clubs are much better than others there and so we’d really like to go to one of the better ones.
Thanks!

Once airside you may go to any SC. B, E and F are the best ones. E and F have much better food options and F has an outdoor deck. There is an outstanding restaurant in E called One Flew South if you are interested.

The E SkyClub is probably my favorite during the winter only because most people that fly are couples and families flying south for a warm vacation. That means less people in that lounge, especially since a first class ticket doesn't get you in since Caribbean isn't considered international for SkyClub access. F is my favorite overall because of the outdoor lounge area but then again, in the winter I don't go out there that much.
E is a fantastic lounge and you'll have no issues with that one.
I rank the Skyclubs in tiers at ATL
Tier 1: B, E, F (alphabetical)
Tier 2: A16, T
Tier 3: C36
Tier 4: D27
.....
Tier Kill Me: D11
In terms of getting around ATL? Extremely easy and there is a train that connects every terminal. Every Skyclub will be available to you.
E is a fantastic lounge and you'll have no issues with that one.

I don’t get the love for the B SC. I pretty much avoid it at all costs it’s so crowded and unkempt the many times I’ve been in it.
The bathrooms are beyond disgusting.

"whichever one is closest to your gate" is the best rule of thumb. The differences really aren't that big unless you have particularly strong preferences. Eg. if you want a quiet place to get work done, T is one of the better ones (A centerpoint also still has some cubicles though they may get ripped out for more seating soon I would guess). If you want runway views, E is the best. If you want to fight a sea of humanity and not be able to find a seat, then B is your ticket.

E has the most festive crowd - the best bar. F is terrific, large with an quiet upper level and the outdoor deck is wonderful on a nice day. I like both A clubs quite a bit. B is as bad as everyone says, avoid it at all costs. If you have a long layover, go to E, unless a really nice day, then F and sit outside
