Does anyone know if travelers with SC membership cards can access the DL international SC if flying on Virgin Atlantic (not Virgin America, but flying to LHR). I also have Priority Pass access to the United Club on the international side, but would rather use the SC. Just trying to figure out if all of the international terminal is airside or if different airlines are behind different security checkpoints.

Lounge Access on two itin
I'll be flying two separate itin's (purchased separately)
SFO-JFK redeye, leaves 10pm, arrives 7am
LGA-DTW-HKG, leaves 11am
My question is--I know I have SC access at LGA and DTW given the international itin., would Delta check me in for the LGA-DTW-HKG flights at SFO, and thereby allowing me to use the SFO SC?
Thank you all!
(Really just more curious than anything... could very well live without going into the SFO SC.)

SFO T1 Redevelopment - Sky Club inside security??
A couple questions:
1) will DL finally get a Sky Club inside security when T1 is redeveloped?
2) is there a timetable and funding for the redevelopment of T1 yet?

I fly to SFO quite frequently and I should know more about this but, sad to say, I don't. God knows Terminal 1 is a dump and desperately needs some renovation. I really like the SC at SFO but being landslide is a huge pain in the axx. Clearing security at SFO can be a cluster, though Pre-check is tremendous addition. Thanks posting the links. I'm a little better informed now.

As for the club, I'm torn, it's nice to have a free drink when you are there to pick up friends or family at the airport, but the line for security is long (even in the SP line) so you can't enjoy the club for as long as you would like before you actually fly.
I prefer SJC to SFO because any drizzle or fog can delay flights at SFO for hours while SJC and OAK are on time.

I know they are currently working on the E gates in the North Terminal (T3). I know the next item is to work on the South Terminal (T1), but are the B gates first or the C gates? I'm not sure. I also remember that AA is supposed to be booted from the Central Terminal (T2) for the South Terminal (T1) at some point as well.

Is UA getting all of T3 (North Terminal)?

Other than the fact that there is only one restaurant (Perry's) which limits food options, DL pretty much has the C gates to itself since it only shares with Frontier. It's a short taxi to the runways as long as they brake hard once on 28 R/L coming in.

The article about the tower in today's Chronicle mentions that it will have to fit between two walkways from the South and Central Terminals (1 outside security that already exists and a new walkway inside security).

At the same time, the compact dimensions required that the lower neck of the tower be as narrow as possible, since room was needed for a pair of corridors between Terminals 1 and 2, one for general visitors and one for passengers who already had passed through security.
Anyone have inside scoop as to whether Delta is planning to somehow create an airside Sky Club?
