IAH Access to KLM or AF Lounge?

Howdy y’all

I am a Diamond Medallion traveling from IAH today on Delta with spouse and 18 yo daughter. I also have Delta Sky Club Executive membership.

There is no Delta lounge in Terminal A but there is an AF and a KLM lounge at the other end of the airport, Terminal D.

It seems from reviewing KLM lounge access rules I can bring “1” guest in. I have not been able to find concise rules for Air France.

Asking for thoughts here....Normally I would just go try to get in but I have to take the Sky train from Terminal A to Terminal D.

Are you flying internationally on a Skyteam airline today? If not, you will not have access. Sky Club memberships no longer provide access to partner lounges as of Jan 1, 2019.

Delta SkyClub Access Changes starting Jan 1, 2019

You can access the KL lounge with priority pass, iirc. SkyClub memberships no longer get you in as mentioned above.

Tanks guys you saved me a trip!

However what about my Diamond Elite status? I am flying domestic Delta and realize that my SkyClub membership won’t work but how about status?

Only if you're flying internationally same-day (can be connecting to international).

Seems like you are mixing up Skyteam access rules with Star Alliance access rules. Unlike Star, both DL Sky Club and partner Skyteam lounges require a same-day international flight for entrance based on Skyteam Elite Plus status. There's no corner cases where you can enter a partner lounge on a domestic flight based on status.
