I was able to guest 3 people in one-time (in JFK, of all places!) using my SC Card and my Delta Reserve. Actually, it was two clubs and neither agent said anything when I offered both cards.

you can usually get another member to take a guest in for you if they don't have one.
a good icebreaker is to offer to buy them a drink if they can do you a favor. or promise not to take all the popcorn...

SkyClub Access
Is it possible to access a Sky Club on a International BizElite ticket in an location that is not the departure airport?
For example flying LAX-ATL via AirTran, then ATL-LHR via Delta; would I be able to access the LAX Sky Club lounge in LAX with my bp for the ATL-LHR segment?

The rules say no--if your LAX-ATL flight was on DL you'd be fine at LAX. It doesn't hurt to try, but I'd expect the answer to be no.

Yeah, I've been told by both FT members and a Delta CSR that you have access to any SkyClub as long as you're flying a BE ticket that day. However, since you're flying AirTran as the connecting flight, I'm not sure if that affects anything.

The rules, as ambiguous as they are, clearly imply the answer is NO.
If you did not need to be on a DL domestic connection, they would not explicitly add the the DL connection would grant you the entrance.
Might as well try though, you could get in on either human error (they just assume you have a DL connection in ATL) or IT error if the computer beeps good/bad (I have no idea how the process works).
And if all else fails, DTKWUA?

I'd just go up and hand them the BP for ATL-XXX (international) and say you're on a same day BE ticket... worst they can say is no and send you packing.

Question along the thread:
I understand that Sky Club access is for Int'l flights as a GM, but why does the Delta website reads:
SkyTeam Elite Plus (Delta Diamond, Platinum, or Gold Medallion) SkyTeam Elite Plus (including Delta Diamond, Platinum or Gold Medallion) traveling in any cabin on a SkyTeam international flight* or a SkyTeam domestic flight connecting to/from a same-day international flight (includes same-day travel on a Delta domestic flight connecting to an international Delta—or any other SkyTeam partner—flight). If traveling on a domestic itinerary, please show a Delta Sky Club membership card for lounge access.

Got it. Thanks! A follow-up, does SC access also extend to arrival airport?

Depends on the airport. Many international airports, I've noticed will allow you admission, for example, to use the showers. Often, domestic SCs are looking for an outbound BP to let you in the door even with membership. I know this varies by location and I have, at times, had good luck getting in on arrival. In fact, 2 months ago flying through MSP, I was waiting for a colleague to arrive on a separate flight about 2 hours after I hit the ground to share a car to a meeting. Went to the F/G SC, explained the situation, they let me in. Spending those 2 hours in the SC beat 2 hours in an airport restaurant.
Good luck. Hopefully they'll take care of you.
