- The airports
- Atlanta's Concourse E/F international zone houses Delta's Sky Club network, including the flagship Sky Club with dedicated shower suites for long-haul business class passengers. Allow extra connection time if arriving via a domestic Delta flight, as ATL's scale means terminal transfers can take 20-30 minutes. OR Tambo International's international terminal has been recently modernized. Delta passengers can access partner SkyTeam lounges. Plan for immigration queues on arrival, particularly on the less-frequent winter schedule when multiple wide-body arrivals can cluster.
