It’s finally here. The first-ever @Delta One Lounge opens tomorrow in New York, and it’s a stunning masterpiece.

In fact, it’s probably the nicest lounge in the country, and likely one of the best in the entire world.

Want to see why? Read on 🧵

(1/16) From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel like you’re no longer in an airport.

For one, the space is massive—at nearly 40,000 square feet with 515 seats, it is Delta’s largest lounge ever.

Well, that didn’t go as planned.

My connection from Denver to Grand Junction was delayed, and once we were finally airborne, we diverted back to Denver because of high winds.

By now, I’m a pro at handling delays and cancellations — here’s how you can be one too.

(1/14) I first caught wind of the diversion on @FlightRadar24, when I noticed we were turning around.

That’s when I recommend starting to look into alternative options.

Moments later, the captain came on the PA to announce our diversion. (Everyone groaned.)

It was a moment that millions had been waiting for, and @Delta went all out.

The airline flew two sold-out path-of-totality flights from Texas to Detroit on Monday, and I was lucky to snag a window seat on one of them.

Here’s what it was like onboard.

(1/11) Delta (literally and figuratively) rolled out the red carpet, starting in the AUS Sky Club.

Inside, there was a special solar eclipse table with Delta handing out glasses in partnership with @WarbyParker.

The airline also had two specialty solar eclipse-themed cocktails

You may have never heard of @Condor before, but with brand-new Airbus A330neos and transatlantic business-class fares starting at $949, you’ll definitely want to give the airline a deeper look!

A thread 🧵

(Note I traveled on a free ticket provided by the airline.)

(1/9) .@Condor used to fly aging cabins to the U.S., but they're now being replaced with a gorgeous business-class product on a brand-new plane.

The A330neo features 30 Safran Skylounge Core pods in the forward cabin.
