SkyClub for FC???

[Dovster]

This was mentioned in the very long thread about the new delta.com, but it is apt to get lost in there.

The website now says that if you are flying FC you get SkyClub entry. Of course, this was always true if you have an international flight that day but there is no such restriction mentioned.

Instead, it reads:

The First Class Treatment

Is this now the case or is it just a mistake on the website?

I saw this as well and had the same question. new perk or typo?

[RacingJunkie]

Wouldn't exactly call the sky club "first class" treatment.

Because SC wasn't crowded enough with folks putting their bare feet up all over the place....

As a non-US resident, this would be good for me. I get SkyClub entry on days when I am flying internationally (both because of my Elite+ status and the fact that I take Biz/FC itineraries).

It would be ridiculous for me to buy a SkyClub membership for those very few days each year when I am on domestic U.S. flights without having an international segment.

My next itinerary, for example, is TLV-JFK, JFK-LAS, LAS-ATL, and ATL-JFK-TLV.

I will get SkyClub entry for all segments except JFK-LAS and LAS-ATL as I won't be flying to/from Israel on those days. Of course, LAS has no SkyClub, so in real life the only time I will miss out is before my JFK-LAS flight.

If this is not a mistake, and is really the case, I will be able to use the SkyClub in JFK that day.

You get skyclub for JFK-LAS if you're in Biz Elite/First either way.

I thought that was only to LAX or SAN.

The current eligible JFK trans-con list is LAX/SFO/SEA/SAN/PDX. Were you perhaps looking at travel to/from one of these cities?

Seems like a pretty egregious mistake if it is one as the international product isn't even called First.

Never! All those cities you mentioned are dens of sin and inequity. I am a person of high moral values, so I will stick with Vegas.

I only see this text under the BusinessElite section on the website. Perhaps OP could provide a link? At any rate, I see no evidence that DL has changed their policy in the Sky Club entrance rules.

Edit to add - I think the text used to be on this page (I get a hit when doing a search) --

http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...rst-class.html

But as you can see, they have now removed any reference to Sky Club access and only mention Sky Priority access.

Here's a copy of the old page from the google cache

Maybe they read this thread!

[acvitale]

they actually were on the phone last night from the LAX sky club with delta it support on the issue. Apparently the club matrons noticed it or had a f class flyer attempt to use it on day one. Might have something to do with its disappearance between last night and this am.

This was obviously a mistake as we all know that only the transcons receive this added perk on domestic flights.
