First-class U.S. to Mexico City - SL access?
Hi, kind of a newbie on lounge access. I am flying first-class to Mexico City from RDU through Atlanta on Delta, and returning the same way. I have Priority Pass.
From what I have read, international first-class does grant SL access for the travel day, while most domestic flights do not (with some transcontinental exceptions). What I am not sure of is whether Atlanta to Mexico City is in the "international" category for this purpose. I would think so, but would like to verify that before the trip for planning purposes.
Also, if anyone is familiar with the Atlanta->Mexico City route on Delta, is it practical to reach a PP lounge, or more trouble than it's usually worth? My layovers are under two hours.
Thanks!

Can’t comment on the SL lounge thing, but recent flying experience to Mexico leads me to say no.
ATL is a miserable airport, so at least you don’t have such a long layover.

Unless something has changed very recently, a delta first ticket to an international destination except for the Caribbean or Palau gets SC access.
