Flying Delta and AC - lounge recommendations?
Hi there - I am flying from YYZ to San Diego. Out of YYZ I am flying Delta to Atlanta and then Atlanta to San Diego. Returning I am flying AC.

I am travelling business class both ways. However, I don't think Delta has a lounge in YYZ or AC in San Diego. Can anyone tell me if I qualify for any lounge?

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

DL is in T3 at YYZ and I don't remember if they have a lounge there or I thought they used to and closed it. There are plenty of DL SkyClubs in ATL.

IIRC, there is access in SAN to the UA

Others here can correct me or add info.

I don't think DL will give access to the Skyclub for a domestic J ticket. Dunno of the international aspect changes anything.

In SAN, United Club is in a separate part of T2. If you do have access you'll hafta clear security twice, and there are better uses of your time in San Diego. Maybe lunch at C Level?

YYZ-ATL-SAN qualifies as an international itinerary with DL and therefore gets lounge access in ATL (and would in YYZ, if they had a lounge).

Except of course for the Plaza Premium, arguably better than a MLL.

No DL lounge at YYZ. Which is annoying.

Unless things have changed, the latter statement is incorrect. We went from T2 East to T2 West without having to clear security again.

Seconded. Flew out of SAN in August and the UC was reasonably convenient to access before our AC flight.

Thank you both for the news (to me), that is a nice improvement. Now I just wonder if Phil's BBQ is open before the SAN-YYZ flight boards.


Merci

Ah - new, just opened. That is why - I have not been in T3 for about 4 months.
