JNB-LHR then next day or later LHR-LAX, no access at JNB, access at LHR DoD to LAX.
JNB-ATL no Clubhouse access. (Not sure it's even open when the DL departs)

Note the last time I was in Y and thus was granted access based on status was over a year ago. Generally I'm in J and thus it's no issue. It was the VS lounge agent that advised me that I could get in for free as long as continuing onward same day to US. I was expecting to need to pay (was in PE) for access.
Just got back to the UK this morning from JNB.

The VS lounge is open prior to the DL flight (DL leaves about 15-20 minutes earlier), but DL uses the SLOW Lounge at JNB before the ATL-JNB flight - as a third party lounge, only access for J pax.
