Memphis International Airport is a major Delta hub in Tennessee, and its lounge picture is simple but comes with a clear caveat: there is no Priority Pass lounge here. The one general lounge is Delta's, so your access depends on flying Delta or holding the right card or status.
The lounges at Memphis
Memphis has a Delta Sky Club in Concourse B, which is the airport's main lounge. There are also two special-purpose lounges, a military lounge and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital lounge, which serve specific travellers rather than the general public. None of the lounges at Memphis participate in the Priority Pass programme. The Delta Sky Club is fairly bare-bones with few windows, but it is the only general lounge at the airport.
Access methods, and no Priority Pass
This is the key point for Memphis: a Priority Pass will not get you into a lounge here, since no lounge is affiliated with the programme, and there is no independent pay-in lounge. Access to the Delta Sky Club is for Delta Sky Club members, Delta One and SkyTeam premium-cabin passengers, Delta Diamond, Platinum and Gold Medallion members, SkyTeam Elite Plus members, and certain American Express cardholders. So your realistic routes in are a Delta Sky Club membership, an eligible American Express card, or a Delta premium ticket.
Amenities and tips
The Delta Sky Club offers the usual seating, snacks, drinks, and Wi-Fi, though it is a more functional than fancy space. If you are not flying Delta or do not hold qualifying status or a card, plan to use the concourse restaurants and cafes instead, since there is no pay-in lounge alternative. Confirm your Delta status or card benefit covers Sky Club entry before you rely on it, as Delta has tightened access rules in recent years.
