Mmm ... There might be a problem.
If you are flying JFK-ATH, you will not have access to the AZ lounge as the SkyTeam Elite + benefit applies to departures lounges, not arrivals lounges (even if it were, there is no way you can access it upon arrival as it is in the Schengen departures area)
Another problem with the AZ lounge when flying back is that the AZ lounge is located at the opposite end of the terminal from which you will be flying. The AZ lounge is located in the Schengen departures area, at the end of the terminal and your flight will leave from the International non Schengen departures area, at the other end. You should check with DL whether they have a bilateral agreement with OA, BA or Swissport which operate the lounges in this part of the terminal. My uneducated guess would be OA (or Swissport as a second choice)
