Agreed! But this is NOT a ST benefit! If Delta wants to give you access that's great but they will have to pay for it! If you access a ST lounge with your AF card then AF pays for it.
So basically you are blaming Delta for not handing out free lounge access to AFKL Elites? Seriously? In contrast to *A where 3rd party lounge access is in fact a perk for the SAG status it is clearly not the case for ST E+. Maybe we can at least agree on this one and then it is up to each of us to decide whether we personally believe additional access should be granted.
I am always happy when I receive unexpected access, but one should never take it for granted.
