Thanks. I thought so, but that was not the view of the gate dragons, last week. I arrived in J on DL metal w/onward travel on a non-SkyTeam carrier (per the S/T website, one need only arrive/depart in J on a S/T carrier so the first flight should have been enough). My BP also clearly had Plat/Elite Plus on it, and I had my DL Plat Card (i.e. Elite Plus) on me, so that should be 2 ways in. No Joy. They claimed the problem was that I was on DL. Happily enough, my lavover was brief, and it wasn't that important.

My layover, homebound, is much longer so I will be more insistent, if it is again a problem. It was a pity, as the Dutch are usually so friendly and efficient and welcoming to travelers....
