Guests can use miles or credit cards to purchase iconic macarons and chocolates from world-renowned French pastry chef at JFK Delta Sky Club, the newest offering as a part of Delta’s ongoing investments in the Delta Sky Club guest experience
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Delta Sky Club guests can enjoy a taste of Paris from Pierre Hermé, named World’s Best Pastry Chef in 2016 by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, at the Delta Sky Club at John F. Kennedy International Airport Terminal 4.
At the beautiful Pierre Hermé Paris counter at the Delta Sky Club, guests can use miles, in addition to credit cards, to purchase a selection of Pierre Hermé’s iconic macarons and chocolates, allowing them to have a treat while they travel or grab a gift during their journey.
“Pierre Hermé is a remarkable pastry chef and visionary culinary artist,” said Claude Roussel, Managing Director – Delta Sky Club. “Partnering with him to bring his macarons and chocolates to our guests at the JFK Delta Sky Club is part of our commitment to connect our guests with unique experiences and incredible culinary offerings at Delta Sky Club.”
Heir to four generations of Alsatian baking and pastry-making tradition, Pierre Hermé has revolutionized the pastry-making craft with his creativity, fresh approach and passion.
“This project with Delta has been a great experience. Our aim is to propose a moment of pure indulgence within Delta Sky Club for guests – a glimpse into my universe of tastes, sensations and pleasures,” said Pierre Hermé, world-renowned pastry chef.
Beginning Feb. 1, Delta Sky Club guests at JFK will be able to purchase Pierre Hermé’s macarons and chocolates, shipped directly from Paris, including the following flavors:
• Infiniment Chocolat – Pure Origin Brazilian Dark Chocolate
• Infiniment Caramel – Salted Butter Caramel
• Infiniment Praliné Noisette – Hazelnut Praline & Crispy Praline
• Mogador – Milk Chocolate & Passion Fruit
• Ispahan – Rose, Litchi, & Raspberry
The introduction of Pierre Hermé creations at JFK Delta Sky Club is the most recent example of the airline’s investments to enhance the customer experience at Delta Sky Club locations across the network. Over the past 18 months, Delta debuted renovated clubs at Newark Liberty International Airport and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, expanded the Delta Sky Club at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and opened new flagship clubs at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), which features local, seasonal fare from renowned chef Ethan Stowell. So guests can rest and recharge during travel, Delta also unveiled Asanda Spa Lounges at SEA and JFK. In the past several months, Delta Sky Club at SEA took home three industry awards, including the coveted International Yacht and Aviation Award in the Airport Lounge category.
