That's a shame. I've fought the Skyteam SYD lounge on this before and won. Skyteam rules say you can access the Skyteam lounge if you are arriving OR departing on a Skyteam flight. Arrival on DL metal counts. Please complain to DL about this, because these lounge agents seem to not follow the rules unless pressed hard.
