DL fully moving to T3 at LHR
Delta Air Lines will operate exclusively from London Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 3, effective Sept. 14, 2016. Delta and Virgin Atlantic will now operate from the same terminal, making it easier for customers to manage their travel plans including any last-minute flight changes.
Delta will transfer its Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Philadelphia flights from Terminal 4 to join its services to New York-JFK, Boston and Seattle that already operate from Terminal 3.

That's interesting, I am assuming the rest of SkyTeam is going to continue operating out of T4? That shouldn't be a huge issue in and of itself, as I doubt there are a large number of SkyTeam connections at LHR.
Are they going to share the clubhouse or will DL build its own lounge?

DL and VS are getting close. I hope they continue to get along.
Now, about using GUCs or miles to upgrade on VS (and VA) flights.......

Not sure I'm a fan of this as it means us ST-but-not-Delta-Elites won't be able to use the SkyTeam lounge at LHR. Do you know if the No1 traveler lounge is only for GM or for all ST E+?

Good point, although officially by DL's rules for other airports, even DL elites not flying D1 wouldn't get LHR lounge access as both VS and No1 Traveller are third party lounges.
