I visited a Delta Sky Club airport lounge known for its luxurious amenities and outdoor terrace. I liked it, but I wasn't blown away.

According to Delta's website, customers can access a Sky Club lounge within three hours of their scheduled departure time. When I arrived at the Sky Club, there was a line outside the sliding-glass doors in front of the lounge's check-in stations.

A Delta employee waved us through after 15 minutes of waiting, and I scanned my boarding pass at a self-check-in station.

Overall, this didn't feel like a premium experience. And I noticed an even longer line outside the Sky Club lounge when I was leaving to board my flight.

When I walked into the lounge, I saw several seating areas and rooms, ranging from quiet corners to busy central lounge areas. Each seating area was complete with tables and electronic-charging stations.

The furnishings and decor in the lounge created an upscale ambiance. Some plush seating even looked like it was made of leather.

I don't usually expect much from airport food, so I was excited to find a selection of tasty-looking main dishes like stir-fry and chicken and broccoli. The buffet also offered desserts like carrot cake and red-velvet cookies.

I made myself a plate with chicken teriyaki, mixed rice, and zucchini, which was delicious.

Next, I headed to the bar, which provided very fast service. The bartender said I could order a few glasses of wine for free, but I'd have to pay for other spirits. I opted for a complimentary glass of white wine.

The Delta Sky Deck was closed when I was there, perhaps due to the cold weather when I visited. However, it seemed like a beautiful place to view the surrounding runways and watch planes take off.

Based on photos I've seen online, tables and chairs are typically placed on the terrace.

Luckily, there were plenty of quiet seating areas far from the loud buffet area, so I got some work done on my laptop.

The lounge offered free WiFi, and the password was prominently posted on signs throughout the area. There was also a printer available to use.

I appreciated the array of outlets and electronic-charging stations around the lounge.

Some charging areas were even located by the windows so travelers could look out onto the runway while they worked.

I desperately needed coffee, so I was excited to see an array of Starbucks products, including syrups and different roasts.

Once I poured myself a cup, I headed to a seating area with a large TV showing a basketball game.

Overall, I liked spending time at this Delta Sky Club in JFK. However, because of the crowds and long lines, I'd only visit again if I was at the airport a few hours early or had a decently long layover.

If I had only 20 to 30 minutes before boarding my plane, dealing with the line and finding a seat would likely take more time than it's worth. However, it may not take as long to get into other Sky Club locations.

Regardless, I'd still stop by this particular Delta Sky Club to enjoy the drinks and food on my next layover.
