I'm sorry that my crystal ball isn't working for this.

It's generally a wise practice to read the details of any such contract.
I did have bit of a general search. I looked on the Delta website and saw there was a table which reflected the benefits on KLM for Elite and Elite Plus. What I cannot tell is whether I have full Elite Plus status whilst in the challenge. I haven't received a contract yet.

Where things get a little ambiguous is below -
"Please Note:
A physical Medallion membership card will not be issued for the 90-day qualification period. You may enjoy Medallion benefits on Delta or Delta Connection by providing your SkyMiles number when making reservations or at check-in. You can also access your Membership Card through the Fly Delta app. During the 90-day period, you will not have access to all reciprocal Medallion benefits with Delta's partner airlines, including access to SkyTeamŽ lounges."

Do you think I will get access to the Delta lounge at Atlanta flying KLM?
