And also I have the ITA Volare Skyteam Elite Plus status, though there doesn't seem to be a way to enter the ITA number into the record.
We are flying domestically, in Basic Economy, on an award ticket.
Do we have free access for the 3 of us upon departure? How about upon arrival?
Agents are generally useless for this kind of info and there's little point in asking when you can ask on FT and get a far more informed answer (from actual flyers with real word experience).
DL does not provide comp lounge access on purely domestic itins for either it's own and partner Elite Plus members. Only same-day international flights (excluding to/from Caribbean) are eligible for Sky Club access (plus one guest) for Elite Plus members. There's still a number of integration issues with ITA since they reformed from Alitalia (inability to enter FF number on DL res is one of a number of them).
Amex Plat card allows for 2 guests at $39/each. Children under 2 are free (DL website specifically only mentions this for the DL branded Amex cards, but believe this also applies to Amex Plat).
