Just wanted to check on here that same day flying DL to catch the AM MEX-NRT in J will get me in.
It’s confusing now because the published rules for accessing D1 Check-in are different than the rules for accessing the lounge. The above itinerary doesn’t qualify for D1 lounge access.
However, reviewing the check-in rules below, I also do not believe it qualifies for accessing the check-in facility. (Also observing that these rules are not completely accurate because it omits D1 to BOS and DCA, which do have access.)
- A nonstop Delta One® ticket to New York-JFK;
- A nonstop Delta One ticket on a long-haul transoceanic flight that is 6.5 or more hours;
- A domestic Delta ticket in any class connecting to a same-day Delta One ticket on a long-haul transoceanic Delta flight that is 6.5 or more hours;
- A nonstop transoceanic ticket in First/Business Class on a SkyTeam ®-operated flight;
- A domestic ticket in any class connecting to same-day First/Business Class ticket on an transoceanic SkyTeam-operated flight; or all Delta 360 members departing from LAX in any class of service, on any fare traveling to any destination
- Customers in Delta's VIP Select®may also access Delta One at LAX, regardless of cabin.
