Thanks for the info! I tweeted to @DeltaAssist with the question and got a very unexpected answer:
In order for SkyTeam Elite Plus members to access this lounge, they must be traveling in BusinessElite or Business Class and will no longer be allowed access if traveling in Economy Class. *RB 2/2
It would be very strange if this were true, wouldn't it? What sense does it still make to have ST Elite Plus if they take away Lounge access in certain skyteam lounges?
