Any insight into guest policy? As a PM, I believe I can take my wife into the US SkyClubs when we're traveling internationally, but what about the No.1 Lounge?

"Starting June 1, 2017, Platinum Medallion Members plus one guest who are traveling in Delta Main Cabin, Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy or Virgin Atlantic Economy cabin are able to access the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse located in Terminal 3 in London-Heathrow. As a reminder, Diamond Medallion Members began receiving the same level of Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse access on February 16, 2017."
Also, PM's and DM's can access the Virgin Atlantic Revivals lounge upon arrival (presumably with one guest).

There have been some recent policy changes and both DM's and PM's and one guest can now access the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse -- http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...d-updates.html

I was surprised Delta was flying out of T3 and not T4 but makes sense due to virgin atlantic and really I hope they could join skyteam and move all to T4.
We Just booked a return flight from JFK to LHR this June /July. We booked delta comfort and I hold a Emerald Card with China Airlines which is skyteam elite plus. I assume my accompaning grandmother can be guested as per skyteam rules at both airports flying out?
What are our lounge options at JFK? Flying out at around 8pm. And No1 lounge out of LHR T3? Flying out at 5pm from LHR.
Quite an exciting trip as it has been 28 years since the last time I went to the USA.

AS for LHR, since you're not in business, neither you, nor grandmother will get access. Since VS isn't part of ST, the partnership is strictly limited to DL elites. Since there is no ST lounge in T3, no lounge access. DL only provides ST elite plus passengers lounge access when not in J when there is a ST lounge.

I suppose I am not surprised by from what I heard about delta before.
I think we will survive 1 or 2 hours without drinks. An odd situation As I think most other carriers In skyteam offer access for contract lounges.
It is a once off trying delta so it should be interesting all the same. And their JFK lounge looks decent enough.
Did that situation for delta members flying into AMS and getting arrivals access at the KLM lounge get sorted out?
Thanks for the fast reply. Yeah 4,500/5000 USD delta one price did not interest me for an 8 hour flight. My parents Just purchased a business class flight from Australia to London for like 3700 USD which is 23hrs in total in the air.

Simple? Question.
If I read the Skyteam.com site correctly, a GM (which is Elite Plus) has access to the SkyTeam lounges? DH is traveling to/fro MEM-MSP monthly for a bit, and I see there is one there. Does he get access to it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The Elite Plus access to SkyTeam lounges is only when flying international itineraries (with the exception of Caribbean destinations). Your husband will not have access on MEM-MSP travel.
