Oasis Lounge - JFK Access
I just flew a transcon - PHX to JFK which grants me access to DL Sky Club. Will it also grant me access to Oasis Lounge in T4? If so, how would I get to T4? Is the lounge on the sterile side or the public side?
Thanks

Ordinarily, it shouldn't grant you access. However, its on the public side

Incorrect. Oasis Lounge is listed as an approved location for transcon premium cabin passengers, as well as for Sky Club members (assuming OP was up front or an SC member).

It is on the Public side and not worth the trip.
It is a small lounge but they do have nice food.
If you are at T4 and have time to kill, not bad but I would not travel there for it.

I've had no issues using it for connections in the domestic to international direction. I had several hours to kill so the journey there and back wasn't a big deal. Plus I was traveling in BE so I didn't mind the exercise prior to flight.

Access to T4 JFK Oasis lounge is ST E+ (GM PM DM KM) on international itinerary. I have seen many turned away with only SC membership. It is landside so you need to exit out of T3, head over to T4 and then (in most of my trips) back to T2 and TSA.
It has better snack (real food) and beverage selections.
This is God sent for me as I get access to it transiting JFK YYZ after TPAC trips.

The one nice thing about the Oasis is that it doesnt attract a lot of kids, families, and other non-essential personnel. Although it is on the small side, the food is great, has a self serve bar and you get great views of the Apron and runways around T4 and T 5

When they said it couldn't be done, it happened
Apparently the rules for admittance are quite fluid. The Delta rep at the desk in T4 made a phone call and said I couldn't get in unless I was traveling in international business class. Undeterred I walked over and was admitted without delay. I'm traveling from JFK to SAN in X class. No international itinerary. I really like the hot and cold food options and self service bar.
I couldn't get in upon arrival yesterday from SAN, so I called the Diamond desk. Was told that even Sky Clubs won't admit passengers upon arrival, which is completely false. Hung up in disgust of the lack of knowledge of their own product.

One time at the Oasis lounge after showing my SC Card, the lounge dragon stated, "Diner's Club only." Uh, yeah. I had another experience at a DL SC (JFK T3) where the lounge dragon denied me entry even with SC membership. She said I needed "full Sky Club membership" despite my "full membership" SC card being presented to her. After arguing with her for about a minute, she let me in as if she was bending the rules.
