| Concourse B | Try a B‑Concourse club—often some of the busiest but central for Delta connections. |
| Concourse C or D | Use the closest Sky Club if you’re short on time. If you have a long layover, you can still hop to A or B. |
| Concourse E (Intl) | Use E‑Concourse Sky Club for international connections; good for showers and waiting for long‑hauls. |
