Customer Experience/Facilities

Delta Air Lines and Los Angeles World Airports unveiled the final major phase of the years-long, $2.3 billion Delta Sky Way at LAX project in August 2023, with Terminal 3 at LAX now directly connected to the Tom Bradley International Terminal via moving airside walkways, officially eliminating the need for busing between terminals. 

The airline’s west headhouse and Delta One check-in area opened to customers in June 2023, providing another entry check-in point for Delta One customers with an exclusive TSA screening lane. 

Delta’s new Terminal 3, a 1.2-million-square-foot, 27-gate complex, debuted last April, featuring a centralized check-in lobby, expanded security checkpoint and baggage claim area, as well as a state-of-the-art Delta Sky Club, one of the largest in Delta’s system. Nine additional new gates, new concessions and spacious seating areas opened to customers in October 2022. 

Airport Experience

Debuted in 2021 at the airline’s Detroit and Atlanta hubs, Delta Digital ID provides customers with a seamless, hands-free way to navigate the airport. This industry-leading technology expanded to LAX in December 2023. Delta Digital ID uses biometric facial matching to eliminate the need for an agent-facilitated document check, allowing customers to move through bag drop and security checkpoints with more convenience and ease.

TSA PreCheck Touchless ID (formerly Digital ID)  

Delta has invested heavily in technologies to streamline and transform the airport journey.  TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID (“Touchless ID”), Delta’s time-saving, industry-first technology that allows customers to check bags and move through security without showing a physical government ID, debuted at the airline’s Detroit and Atlanta hubs in 2021and expanded to LAX in December 2023. Touchless ID is available to eligible customers in both the domestic and international terminals. 

Delta One Lounge

Delta customers can now enjoy the premium lounge experience on the west coast with the opening of the LAX Delta One Lounge, featuring an exclusive outdoor terrace. Opened in Oct. 2024, the 10,000-plus-square-foot space is directly accessible by elevator from the Delta One check-in area and includes a wellness area, a sushi bar, food and beverage service at every seat, and more.
