Delta debuts new Sky Club at DCA with local chef

WASHINGTON — Delta Air Lines is giving several of its airport Sky Clubs makeovers, and it just took the wraps off its larger, newly renovated club for frequent flyer members at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

The 9,000-square-foot facility is 1,800 square feet larger than the previous lounge.

It includes leather furniture and views of the runway and Potomac River. The full-service bar is larger, with an all-American whiskey menu.

It also includes what Delta calls “Beltway-themed” artwork from up-and-coming artists as part of its The Gallery program.

The Reagan National Sky Club has also partnered with Marjorie Meek-Bradley, chef and partner at Smoked & Stacked in D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood.

Her resume includes chef de cuisine under Mike Isabella at Graffito in D.C., sous chef for Jose Andres at his Zaytinya restaurant in D.C. and executive chef at Ripple and Roofer’s Union in D.C.

“I am very excited to partner with Delta at the Delta Sky Club at DCA. I look forward to bringing my passion for local, seasonal ingredients to travelers, whether they are heading out of town or just passing through our awesome city,” she said.

Her menus at the Reagan National Delta Sky Club will rotate seasonally.

In addition to the Washington-to-New York Delta Shuttle, Delta Air Lines has 56 other peak-day flights from DCA to 12 destinations.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
