Rival United Airlines — second to Delta in net profit margins — is circling.
Delta plans to open Delta One lounges in Boston and Los Angeles later this year, and is studying airports where it could open others.
Like other airlines, Delta accepted billions in federal aid to weather the pandemic.
Luxury air travel and the United States didn't go together for many years — and might not still, if you ask well-heeled globetrotters.
And at Delta and other airlines, many of the perks for luxury flyers come through lounges.
