Delta Domestic First Class – Boston to Sacramento

After finishing up some work at the Sky Club in Terminal A I walked down to gate A3 and prepared to board my flight. On the dot at 3:50pm the gate agent began the boarding process and, when first class was called, I walked down the ramp through the jetway and into the first and only door being boarded. The flight attendant Donnie was friendly as she greeted the passengers. I also saw Katlin from my first Sacramento flight on Thursday and she was working this flight as well.

I left the Delta Sky Club about 15 minutes before my fight was scheduled to board. My plan was to walk the MSP Airport Mall that runs from the F Concourse to the E Concourse and back – and then down to gate F9. I’ve always enjoyed this part of MSP, the Mall that is. The MSP Mall is funky, looks like it’s been there a long time, and has a decidedly Minnesota feel to it. It is utterly unique to any airport or terminal I have ever visited and I love walking through it. When I got to the end of the Mall by the E concourse I noticed a sign for Escape Lounge.

Delta Sky Club – Minneapolis F Concourse

I had approximately an hour between arrival and departure for my connecting flight at Minneapolis. The gate my flight was leaving out of was F9, and so I decided to visit and review the Delta Sky Club in the F Concourse of the Lindbergh Terminal at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Wow, what a mouthful.

I exited gate F5 at Minneapolis and walked down the F concourse to F1 and the intersection with the G concourse. The Sky Club’s bright blue glass doors help identify the lounge as they are sort of hidden behind an elevator. Upon entering the lounge, I presented my membership card and was polity checked in by the friendly associate.

After checking out of the Hyatt Regency Boston I hired a cab to take me to Boston Logan International where I checked in for my return flight home. I arrived at the airport at 2:50pm on a Sunday and check-in and security together took about 20 minutes. The airport was certainly busier than my late night arrival, but Boston’s Main Terminal A is a fairly efficient operation and having TSA PreCheck helped as well.

Business required a Friday meeting in the city of Boston. The group would be finishing up around 3pm in the afternoon and I could have flown back to Sacramento at that time. Being that it was a Friday, I decided to spend a couple more days in Boston and enjoy a location I hadn’t visited in years.

The Boston Hyatt Regency had a paid rate of $199.00 per night (before taxes) and I booked the hotel for the next 2 nights. I thought the rate was fair, and this would give Susan and I another stay towards our needed 25 stays required for Hyatt Diamond status.

Our flight landed at Boston Logan at 11:15pm. I chose the first evening at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor for a few reasons. 1) With a late arrival it wouldn’t lake long to check into the hotel and get some sleep. 2)  It was less expensive that the Hyatt Regency Boston, so there was a cost benefit. 3) In the morning I could transfer to the Hyatt Regency for the remainder of my stay. I could review 2 locations and get 2 stays toward my diamond status with Hyatt. I ended up booking a standard “Aviation King” room at $179.00 per night before taxes.

Our plane parked at gate C3 and after disembarking it was a short walk over to the Salt Lake City Delta Sky Club lounge. The airport was busy and this seems to be the case most times when I’m transitioning through the Salt Lake City Airport. In the middle of the terminal all the different halls meet in a central location as you walk toward Terminal 2. The Delta Sky Club in located in the middle of this terminal, between the C and D concourses.

This post will review 2 separate flights in Delta domestic first class. Delta flight DL2366 Sacramento to Salt Lake City and DL1843 Salt Lake City to Boston.

I arrived at the Sacramento Airport parking garage and snagged a good spot on level 3 close to the pedestrian bridge. Lines at the security checkpoint were relatively long, but with TSA PreCheck it only took a few minutes to get airside.
