Do i get access as a GM in economy while traveling inter europe in the KLM lounge. For example AMS-FCO or AMS-CDG? I am an American based medallion if that matters. This is not coming from America this is strictly showing up in AMS to fly to FCO or CDG.

You should. If you present your GM card, it should state "SkyTeam Elite Plus" which qualifies for lounge access when flying internationally. There are occasional reports that some people are denied as GM's, but those I know have never had an issue.

GM/PM/DM = SkyTeam Elite Plus gets lounge access, if it's available, when traveling on any same-day international ticket. If you're flying AF, for example, CDG/LYS, all within France, without an international connection, you would not.

Sky Lounge access question.
We will be traveling from Sea to cun in November. There will be two stops. Sea - Slc first class. Slc - Atl first class. Atl -Cun business. Do we need to pay for Sky lounge access or is it included.

As long as your segment from the US to Mexico is in Business/First you will get same day access to Sky Clubs. (Note that while Canadian/Mexico destinations will get you lounge access, flights in First/Business to the Caribbean will not as it is specifically excluded for lounge access).

Sky Club access question
Hi,
I have an itinerary going from ATL-LAX-SYD-AKL (DL, VA, CI) all in business.
the first leg ATL-LAX is on the 767-300, so business elite. Do I have access to the Sky Club in ATL? If I do, do they print out lounge invitation when I check in or just present the boarding pass to the lounge dragons?
the second leg LAX-SYD, I understand I would have access to the Loft by Virgin America, correct?
the third leg, SYD-AKL going on CI, what lounge would I get? Would CI put me in the VA lounge? Or is there a VA arrival lounge?
TIA

All in Business means you will have lounge access at every airport.

All you need to do in the SkyClubs is show your boarding pass and ID. I don't know about Australian partner lounges.

Skyclub access question
Hello, I have a question about if you buy access to sky club with the cc discount for $25. Can it be used at any sky club throughout your trip (if you have 2 layovers) or is it a one time access deal in that one city?

According to the link that rwoman gave, the DL cc access is "for just $25 per visit" (my emphasis). I don't think you can use it in more than one club on any given day.

This is indeed for one visit. The one-day pass is good all day but not the $25 CC visit the OP asked about

Skyclub access question
A better question is why pay to go to the SC and pay for decent quality drinks on top of that when you can get better food and drink for less overall spend at most airports' bars or restaurants.
