PIT SkyClub?

I notice on Delta.com it says entrance to the US Air club at PIT is only for customers on the non-stop PIT to CDG flight. Anyone have any luck getting into that club when travelling to ATL or JFK or DTW? I'm travelling in Business Class from PIT to ATL to MUC and am wondering if I'll be able to get an invite or something at checkin to use the US Air club.

The US Clubs are better than the terminal, but nothing special. I'd ask for an invite at check-in, and show your BF BP at the club...but not getting access really is no big deal. (Unless you have a passion for domestic lite beer).

WOW. I am a bit impressed. I brought up this issue about a month ago with Delta and indicated their website was inaccurate. I guess they corrected the data. Kudos.

Unfortunately the lounge is only available for PIT-CDG for F, Sky-Team Elite and Sky Club Members.

Having AC OUTLETS is the main advantage. They are few and far between at PIT.

So if you're a sky club member you have access, even if you're not flying to CDG???

No. If you are flying to CDG and are in Biz Elite or are a Sky Team Elite + or Sky Club member, then you can get in. Being just a Sky Club member wont do it.

I just noticed that they DID change DL.com to reflect the limited access to the non-stop flight ONLY! That said, the exact wording is:

*Must be traveling non-stop between Pittsburgh and Paris, Charles de Gualle, for access.

I'm flying outbound via JFK next month, but returning on the non-stop, and I would usually want to get home, but I've lived in PIT all my life and NEVER seen the inside of the US Airways Club, so I might just try to get in after my arrival on the non-stop!

I really wish they opened up access at least to DMs.

You're not missing much. I used to live in this US Club every week and the Ladies always took good care of me. I still stop by to see them when I fly home to visit the family.

I used the US Club when I took the PIT to CDG flight in early October. It's a ghost town and former shell of itself.

Any decent snax there? Veggies? Cheese - whether real or fake? I heard drinks cost $1 due to some crazy liquor law? If so, is that for soft drinks, too?

The snacks are better than most SC, the wifi is free (ask for a card) and only the cheap beer and wine is $1 and the better stuff is not exactly cheap.

Granted, I've been there in the mornings most of the time, where the snacks were rather stale croissants. Around 1100a they did put out some packaged Milano cookies though.

Would say at best it's on par with a SkyClub in snacks. Decor is a bit dated in there. Still rather large in size from the hub days; I always had more than enough room to spread out.

What if you are STE+ and returning from CDG but have a layover.

Ok, I am sitting in the PIT club now. The snacks are not impressive. I see apples, cheddar cheese, monterey jack cheese, pretzels. Trail mix, milanos, and some chips. It is ok, but presentation is ehhhhh ok.

$1 bud/lite and wine.

Decor resembles MSP F/G. Sort of that employee cafeteria thing.... Club is VERY quiet.

CLT is nicer.

There are a lot of power outlets, which is a huge plus.

FYI I entered using my CO PC card, as they did not accept just a SC membership( i did not think they would)

If you read my post #6 above, the wording from DL.com seems to indicate that US Club access should be granted in either direction - eastbound or westbound - but what happens in reality, who knows!

Just a side note that I'd luv to know how much DL has to pay US, or any other lounge operator, for each person who enters, in situations like this!
