Worst? I don't believe so, but woefully undersized for the busiest delta terminal (Delta's words) in the Atlanta airport. Delta spent millions of dollars on that facility because the two original clubs on that concourse were just too small. I think Delta totally missed the calculations on usage for the "new" B club. I really wish they had kept the other two open and just added the new club. Talk to the staff of the other clubs at ATL and they will tell you they hate it too.
Yes, something needs to be done with the B club and hopefully Delta is reading this. Perhap do like DTW and open two new clubs at the ends of the B concourse. Perhaps on top or perhaps at tarmac level. Include a deck with open air. Or maybe consider using some of the hilarious wasted space in the the new club of ceiling height. Add loft area of seating on each side extending a third of the way into the club. Or maybe stop overcrowding the club.
So, yes. Something needs to be done.

That’s a great lounge and my favorite DL lounge in the system. I don’t fly out of there often, but the last time was for a trip to BOS which DL flies nonstop from AUS but not SAT. Flight departs at 6 so I was there when it opened at 5 and had the whole SkyDeck to myself for breakfast before I passed out in my window seat for the early morning flight.

Also, I am a big fan of the SFO skyclub. May be my fav in the domestic system.

I love it when my DCA assignments come around as those flights almost always go out of T! Best domestic SC in ATL!

This place is far from the worst. The MSP F/G Club, LAX T3 Club, and SLC clubs are all much worse IMO. At least SLC will get a new lounge this fall with the new airport. As for LAX, they had a decent club in T5 and managed to move into even a more dumpy spot in T3. Ugh.

I've long stopped going to the B club but can't ever remember the bathrooms being clean. It's truly disgusting.

I was in SLC last Friday - What an absolute disaster the Sky Club is. I have never, ever seen it that crowded. Now I get that it was the end of the Sundance Film Festival - but I wonder if they shouldn't consider limiting regular AMEX card holders or people bringing in guests, or families of five... Something has to be done as the new airport won't open for at least 9 more months. I hear the new club will be their biggest in the system - can't come soon enough!
