Update to Delta Sky Club® Policy For Lifetime Members
Email Update I received today
In November 2018, we announced that customers accessing a Delta Sky Club must be flying on a same-day ticketed Delta or Delta partner flight to enter the Club, effective January 1, 2019. We have made an exception to this policy for our Lifetime Members. You and your guests may continue to access the Club when traveling on same-day ticketed travel on any airline. As a reminder, eligible guests include up to two traveling companions OR a spouse/partner and children under 21.
Also effective January 1, 2019, Delta Sky Club Memberships (including Lifetime Memberships) no longer include access to Air France, KLM Crown and Virgin Australia lounges. Members, however, can access partner lounges in the following scenarios:
· Diamond, Platinum or Gold Medallion® Members traveling on a partner international flight or partner domestic flight connecting to/from a same-day international flight
· Delta One® passengers, upon departure or connecting flight
We thank you for being a loyal Member and look forward to seeing you in the Club soon.

Someone probably threatened to sue for DL unilaterally trying to change the terms after the agreement was signed.

There are several active threads that have posted the change/email. No need to start yet another one. Here's a couple still on the front page.
