Under-21 in Delta SC
Has anyone under 21 ever had luck at DTW/other self-serve bar sky clubs? I’m PM with a membership and have always been rejected at DTW, but curious if other places are less strict.
(Annoying that all three clubs at DTW do this, luckily not my home airport.

DTW has four SCs.
Also, MSP has one SC with bartenders (and a "luxury" bar) and one without, so that the alcohol is self serve.

I was about to say that MSP is the only place that has a SC with bartenders and another one without, but I'm guessing JFK and maybe LGA have the same, although the lounges are in different terminals. ATL is all bartenders.

KE lounge at JFK T1 was self serve when I last used it, but of course it's not a SC.
BTW, Escape (AmEx) at MSP has bartenders as does the PP PGA lounge.
The CLUB (PP) at ATL has bartenders too.

I was never turned away when I was under 21. Once an MSP SC agent told me to stay away from the beer, but I that’s about it.
Just say that you’ll promise to stay away from the booze. You’re a medallion with a club membership after all. It’s a ridiculous policy.

If Delta lost a liquor license at a hub airport due to alcohol consumption by a minor there would be enough whining on Flyer talk to break the internet.
