US CBP at YVR is open until 10:30PM -- US Customs and Border Protection YVR
There's a Plaza Premium lounge in the US pre-clearance area that takes Priority Pass -- https://www.prioritypass.com/lounges...usa-departures
Don't know how busy it is at that time, but I'd probably get there 2 - 2.5 hours prior to flight (depending on whether you are checking luggage) if you want to avoid any hassles.

you can't just get there early and pre-clear. That would mean there's a mix of pre-cleared and uncleared passengers on the same plane. It should be obvious why this isn't allowed.

When you get to ATL you will go left off the jetway if you had preclearance in YVR, right if you didn't. Honor system my friend, works every time. Delta will mark your bag as such so they know where to put it.
Unless you ate the lettuce... oops wrong thread.
I am pretty sure other than for causing deja vu (thanks to merge?), this thread is not very helpful, so much conflicting information, twice.

Assuming not the later flight.... assume leaving YVR on Delta mid day.
The SkyTeam Lounge is in international terminal, not US preclearance terminal right? Can you get into international gates with your boarding pass, then get to US customs without going through security again?

Logic is irrelevant.

Actually, you will be asked to clear security where your flight departs. You can't go to the international area when your flight departs from the transborder section.
