Seem unpopular accesss policy change requiring flight segment from its own airline or partner flight, first announced from DL SkyClub has lead to similar policy change to the other two, effective Nov 1, 2019. AA announced restrictive lounge access policy on Oct 18, 2018, UA on November 6, 2018. Both will be effective Nov 1, 2019. DL policy change is effective Jan 1, 2019.
Any successful class-action fight from DL, UA, and AA lifetime member would definitely change or break the course for implementation.....Am hopeful someone will be successful in fighting this. Jiburi |
I'm not a lawyer, but would definitely be interested in joining such a class action lawsuit myself!

I suspect that lifetime membership carries a similar clause to their boilerplate "We can change the rules whenever we want and you have to accept and live with the changes". So, a lawsuit would likely go nowhere since Delta can change whatever rule they want whenever they want with impunity.
From the Delta Sky Club House Rules page - "Delta Sky Club members will not be compensated for changes in locations, rates or House Rules." House Rules include access restrictions related to boarding passes. |

With DL members impacted first, AA and UA lifetime members will be monitoring this thread for progress. Am hoping we can come together for all life-ers out there. Jiburi |

Something about this thread reminds me of a scene from the movie Liar, Liar:
Fletcher: You scratched my car!
Impound Guy: Where? Fletcher: [showing him] Right there! Impound Guy: Oh. That was already there. Fletcher: You... you liar! You know what I'm going to do about this? Impound Guy: What? Fletcher: Nothing! Because if I take it to small claims court, it will just drain eight hours out of my life and you probably won't show up, and even if I got the judgment you'd just stiff me anyway. So what I'm gonna do is piss and moan like an impotent jerk and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe! Impound Guy: You've been here before, haven't ya? |

What if they changed the hours of operation to, say, 11A-Noon ....only one hour each day and they eliminated all food and beverage. Would the disclaimers above cover them in a lawsuit? Hmmmm. Not sure but I bet it would be open to interpretation by a judge! |

United is making the same change November 1, 2019. This really sucks since I like using the UA club passes I get with my Hyatt membership at LAS and it came in handy when the DC skyclub was closed on weekends earlier this year
