Anyone use the SFO T1 SkyClub when flying on KLM from the International terminal?
I'm flying to Amsterdam on Monday with a Delta ticket on KLM metal. I will probably have a couple of hours at the airport. I think the new Delta SkyClub is a lot nicer than the Air France/KLM lounge in the International terminal. Between my J ticket, and my Reserve Amex card, I'm sure I would be admitted to the SkyClub, but would it be much of a hassle to get there and back from the International terminal?

In which case I'm also guessing you probably already know the layout and are asking about the security check aspects.They might balk at first if you present a KLM boarding pass to enter T1 but if you explain you want to use the SkyClub it shouldn't be a problem. People have also said a mobile boarding pass makes this easier.

Shouldn't be an issue to get in, but it's a bit of a hassle what with changing terminals and re-clearing security. SkyClub is nicer than the AF lounge for sure, but I don't think it's so much nicer that I would go there for a bit then exit security and switch terminals -- especially since with a KLM boarding pass you won't have precheck and will thus be subject to regular security an extra time.

I am sure there must be a thread about the new SFO skyclub, but I searched and could only find this.
The new SFO Skyclub is just amazing. I spent three hours there yesterday on a long layover, and to me it's the way all Skyclubs should be. It is very spacious, the seating is well laid out, it has great views of the tarmac and runways, and a very nice food selection. And of course an excellent staff.
Well done, Delta! ^ ^ ^

Here is the thread you are looking for: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...ve-thread.html
FYI, Flyertalk is much better searched through Google than the internal search engine. This came up as the first hit when I searched "SFO Skyclub Flyertalk"
