An odd question here:
DL Plat, VS flight numbers on both flights.
Metal is DL MSP LHR, connecting to Jet Airways LHR DEL. All Y class.
What lounge access if any in LHR?

None. You'll get access at MSP, but that's it.
Also note you won't earn any miles/MQM/MQD on the 9W flight since it's coded as VS.

As DL Plat you should have access to the VS arrivals lounge (called Revivals) in Terminal 3, but you would have to exit security to do so. It isn’t open all day, just until 1 or 2pm. I don’t know the logistics involved in connecting from DL arrival in Terminal 3 to a 9W departure, which I think is Terminal 4, and how the lounge visit would work with the connection.

Regarding T4, from which 9W departs: if you have Priority Pass you can use the SkyTeam Lounge at T4 (which isn't half bad) or the Plaza Premium lounge, but your ticket won't get you anything.

Hi there.
Flying ATL-LHR in Delta One, then KL LHR-AMS (on the same day I arrive into LHR, about 4 hours later).
I see KL LHR-AMS generally leaves from T4; but as a DM and incoming ATL-LHR in Delta One, will I have hassle-free Clubhouse access? Thanks.

You will get access to T3 Revivals lounge if you chose to go landslide rather than use the flight connections route to T4.
And of course you will get access to the ST lounge in T4

I swear I've tried searching, but alas...
Flying ATL-LHR tonight. 006 ticket, DL marketed, VS operated, booked in PE. Currently Delta PM.
Since there's no clubhouse in ATL, am I able to use the plan ol' DL SkyClub in this instance? Worst case, I have PP and will just scoot across to The Club (I don't plan on getting to the airport exceptionally early anyway), but I would like to get a few final gulps of fresh air on the Sky Deck if I can.
Also - did VS stop giving amenity kits in PE? Last nighttime PE flight I took was in July and the FA seemed thoroughly confused when I asked for one. I mostly just want a throwaway toothbrush I can use after dinner as I can't find any extras at home.

Thanks! Yes, I knew PE doesn't include lounge but wasn't sure on PM status at airports without a VS clubhouse. The only other times I've been on VS and needed a lounge were TATLs ex-JFK and LHR, or connecting from a domestic DL flight where my Amex Reserve applies.

International First and Business Class passengers, as well as SkyTeam Elite Plus members traveling in Economy Class, enjoy complimentary access to more than 629 worldwide member lounges on the day of travel when flying on or connecting to or from an international flight operated by a SkyTeam carrier.
Since your VS flight is on 006 stock and DL flight number, I think that qualifies.
I haven't flown PE on VS for 5 years, so can't comment on the amenity kit.
But as important as the amenity kit, I think is getting a Fast Track card for immigration. I asked for one when I flew PE and the VS FA gave me one, but I don't know if it was common practice.

I'm currently finishing dinner at Ecco. Will walk over after and see what happens.
And yes, Fast Track passes are generally given out to elites in PE if you ask nicely. They are certainly a game changer at LHR!
