I wasn't sure where to post this thread since it pertains to a couple different airlines. Mods, please move if necessary.

I'm headed to Europe in a few days and we have a few flight segments that we purchased separately from our award tickets. The awards are in J so we don't have to worry about the lounges there. However, we have a few flight segments on Alitalia that we purchased in coach (ATH-FCO and VCE-IST).

I know that as a Delta PM/Skyteam Elite Plus I am granted access to the Alitalia lounges even when flying in coach, but I'm not sure if I need my Delta PM membership card. I only recently became PM and do not have my credentials yet. We are leaving on Tuesday so I may luck out with them arriving tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath. My Delta # is in the Alitalia reservation but I'm not sure if they can see my status on their computers or if that will suffice for lounge access.

Any advice?
