Wow, that is beyond sad that your first thought is a scam.

Travel is so stressful these days-especially when you don't have lounge access or other perks. It's such a lovely gesture to make someone else's voyage a little more pleasant.

They had one day passes for sale at the skyclubs a couple weeks ago. Don't remember the price but think it was around $250 for 5. You can also get paper passes through Skybonus if you are a small business owner and participate in that program.

Did you check if they were actually "day" passes, and not "visit" passes. I suspect they were likely the latter and that once purchased they would be stamped with an expiration date. The Sky Bonus passes are now all visit passes (not "day" passes) and have a stamped expiration date.

Not that long ago, long after the merger, DL was selling lounge passes around the holidays at a (promotional?) price of $99 for four or five. IIRC this happened for at least two consecutive years, but the number might have dropped from five to four, and they needed to be purchased in a SC.

But I made a lot of friends in the office from co-workers who only occasionally travel.
