For example, suppose I fly EZE-ATL, arriving about 6am on one ticket. I spend the day in Atlanta and in the evening fly ATL-DTW-MSP on a different PNR/ticket that has no international segments. Without a SC membership, Reserve card, or AmEx Plat/Centurion card, I would not expect free lounge access in DTW.
I believe bennos is correct. In your example you could access the lounge both in the am and pm. DL doesnt put a time frame on "same day" travel. Traveling any time internationally that day as STE+ and yiu get access. Just show the intl BP.
