Another example of how FT is an invaluable tool. I had Lifetime Clipper Club with Pan Am, when Pan Am went bust I was living abroad and not in a place that had abundant DL flights (or any for that matter) for a few years. I was never informed in any way about any extension of my Lifetime status from either Delta or UA (you may recall that UA took over Pan Am's LHR hub and flights minus Miami). It was not until maybe 10 years later when reading FT that I even became aware that there was a possibility that still having Lifetime CRC or SkyClub existed. In short I have asked Delta several times to re-instate my Lifetime membership several times over the last 17 years, and each time I am basically told either that, "Records no longer exist" or that, "It has been too long". The funny thing is that while I was Platinum or then Diamond for about 20 years, it was not that important to me, because I had the access anyway.............oh well..............

Addendum to my earlier posts. A couple of years ago when going through various boxes of my mother's things, I actually found not only my lifetime card, my "Worldcard" (that was the Pan Am Mastercard back then)as well as my Clipper Club tags as well as Lifetime Card.............I contacted Delta again and......no dice..........

On Monday I will fly through MSY with my wife and in-laws. My wife and I are flying AS to SFO, and my in-laws are flying AA MSY-ORD-CWA. I'm a lifetime SkyClubs member who also has an American Express Platinum. My mother in law has a Delta credit card.
Any life advice in terms of whether all four of us will be allowed in (the language is member + 2 guests), and what we'll have to pay for the extra guest? Not sure if they will charge more/less for customers not flying Delta.

I think they're going to be very rigid in terms of the rules, especially since it;s a new Club which is physically accessible to all passengers.
Since MSY has such a high percentage of O/D traffic the CSR's are very used to politely turning people away.

I feel they should grant your request for sheer persistence Keep trying!

Mine cancelled when they changed the name from Crown Room to Sky Club. The fine print said only to Crown Room

I, too, have a Lifetime DL membership via NW.
But since the early 90's, I had yearly Crown Room memberships. DL used to have a lot more rooms. And in some of the smaller airports, there was a "Convenience Club" (I think that's what it was called). It was open to members, but unstaffed. You asked for a four digit code from a DL airport rep to enter.
