V-Flyer

Am soon flying Delta NYC to Geneva, but wanted to see if am allowed to use the JFK VS lounge as an Au holder?

I believe I can when flying to London - but can I when on Delta to another transatlantic European destination?

(sadly just Delta Economy+ - the sponsor wouldn't pony up for Biz!)

You used to be able to, however, after the recent VS US Clubhouse changes, I suspect you won’t be able to more unfortunately. Your only option will be the DL lounge.

Thanks James,

Yes its a bit of a mess, and I'm unable to find a clear answer online. Lots about Heathrow, but little about VS's US lounges.
Pretty confident heading to LHR on a Delta code-share I could do it, but to another Eu country?

Good I can use the Delta ones as an Au even in Economy (right?) but... I know which lounge I'd far rather be in - given the choice is between a plastic wrapped apple or a full meal?!

Yes, nothing has changed for VS AU's being still able to access DL lounges regardless of cabin flown in when flying DL. Details can be found here.

Also worth remembering that an AmEx Platinum charge/credit card also gets you into any DL lounge as well (if you have one) when flying DL in any cabin; nothing has changed for this either after the recent DL Sky Club entry updates.

The JFK T4 Delta Sky Club isn't too bad in all honesty (apart from the queues to get in). It has showers and an outdoor Sky Deck; it's better than any of the ATL Sky Clubs IMHO.

Thanks for advise.

Just remembered I'm flying to LHR on VS UC in a few weeks time (from JFK) so will ask about the Delta flight access for Au's right then n there at the Lounge reception.

(If the memory cells work. Buffer overload some days!)
