the last sentence is the most disappointing to me! Although the KLM crown lounge was always super crowded.

Whatever keeps the stench of the unwashed masses out of my clubs, I'm all for it. The fewer plebeians sneezing on the buffet food, the better.

While a joke, I do believe that Delta wants to a sort of exclusiveness to the clubs. Something that it loses if just anyone can popup and pay to get in.

I'm very happy that they are going to still sell single passes for Amex Delta Platinum members. That wasn't mentioned in the original post, but I'm glad I kept looking. I've got a trip coming up right after Thanksgiving. I accepted a longer layover than I would have liked when rebooking following a schedule change because I was planning on purchasing a single pass with my Delta Platinum AMEX. If that option had been removed, I'd of been on the phone to Delta right now HUCA-ing until I got someone to move me the flight I would need to shorten that layover.

Yes. The change regarding a Sky Club Membership no longer being accepted at partner lounges was actually announced some time ago. It does not impact access to Skyteam partner lounges for Skyteam Elite Plus members.

If you keep reading the article, it states that the $29 AMEX day passes will still be sold. So, that is a correct interpretation. I'll clarify the orginal post.

I still think the Amex Plat is a better choice if you are going to go with a card. The only benefit the Delta Amex has is the MQMs. If you don't need those, the nthe Amex Plat is probably better, especially if you can pick it up during one of the 100,000 point offers. Those 100,000 points are arguably worth $1800 or so.

Reserve Card Members will continue to have complimentary access when traveling on a Delta flight or a Delta-marketed and Delta–ticketed flight operated by WestJet.
Only WestJet pax get in?
