RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C., Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) today opened a new 4,000-square-foot Sky Club at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, adding hometown amenities for the airline’s most frequent travelers. The new club, located in Terminal 2, offers Sky Club members and their guests complimentary Wi-Fi, beverages and snacks, personalized flight assistance, a full-service bar and satellite TV.
