Depends when you fly - the flight I referenced above was over $700 return for Toronto-Atlanta bought several weeks in advance (wish the dates I traveled were that cheap!)

Question: We're taking a big family trip at the end of May. For Skyclub access - I can get 2 of my kids in for $29 each but I still need to get access for my husband. If he's flying in D1 upgraded using cash from C+ will he get free access on all of our layovers? Or only the one in JFK before D1 flight to MXP?

Diamond with the free sky club choice benefit. I am looking to upgrade to the executive membership. A few questions, 1. is it still 2 guests or entire family? 2. How much is the upgrade? 3. Would the upgrade run for a full year, be prorated until the end of my medallion year, or will I be charged full price but only have exec. membership until end of year? Thanks!

It's funny because I always order a macallan or two, which presumably is also revenue for DL... And always snicker at the free chili they're pumping into premium pax before flight.
Was really hoping for a shower here... Sweltering hot PHX, no shower.

The problem with your example is everything is based on City pairs, so some cities Canada is priced like a US city in others it is a pretty pricey proposition. A lot of people fly into Buffalo for that reason.

I said I’d report the result of my no-status friends attempting to enter the SC on an LAX-Mexico itinerary with F tickets. The answer is yes they got in, but not necessarily due to their F ticket. The BP incorrectly indicated they were Gold - when they purchased the tickets in January they were Gold but are not anymore. Perhaps this is an ongoing issue and there are probably other threads about this.

Can I use miles to pay for admission in lieu of the $29 w/ my Delta Amex Plat? Delta on Twitter says yes, but they also stated "500 miles" which I HIGHLY doubt. Thanks!

I doubt it. The single visit passes used to be $59 or 5,000 miles, but those have been discontinued (perhaps agent saw that and left out a zero). There is nothing on the DL website about being able to use miles as an option with the DL Amex Plat card.

Twitter did come back and clarify that I could get in for 2500 Skymiles. I plan to try this. Can anyone speak to their experience with this?

I thought the fee had to be charged to the card swiped. Ie you couldn't give another card for payment.
