I thought that, but reading the rules they explicitly say that the domestic connecting flights for international Delta One are included and there is no such language for domestic Delta One, that's what is throwing me off. I guess they feel the need to add the language for international because it's domestic vs. international. So if you have are flying from one city to another as long as you have Delta One on one flight, you get lounge access for any other flights in any other airports on the same day(s) if they're on the same ticket.

I have an upcoming flight where I will have an hour to kill before leaving the airport after arrival. Is access on arrival still a thing, or did they do away with that with the 3-hour restriction? I have a sky club membership and will be flying on a short haul domestic flight.

Yep. I always have a screenshot of my BP regardless and there haven't been any issues allowing arrival access when I need to hop on the WiFi for a bit. Been called out a time or two (about just arriving), but nothing beyond that.

A little help please:
5 family members (me/wife/sister/father/mother) flying Delta metal CVG-LGA-YYZ
me - paid F, DL gold, AMEX plat
wife - paid F, Amex plat
sister - paid F
father - coach
mother - coach
I know my wife and I have access to SkyClub (CVG and LGA) due to amex plat
My best guess is that I (or my wife) can guest in (free) my sister because she is in F, but I will have to pay $50 each for my parents (AMEX PLAT guesting)
is this correct? thanks in advance

You can enter as a GM in F traveling internationally and guest in your sister in F.
Your wife can enter with her Amex Platinum and pay $50 each for each of your parents.
Notably, you cannot pay to guest in your parents, it has to be your wife.

It might make sense to look at adding your parents to being authorized users on your Amex Platinum, as that's only $175 for the year for 3 Plat cards and gives them a lot more options going forward and not limited to just Delta.

Hi, I am Delta platinum level with a platinum delta Amex card. I am flying to LIH via ATL. My ticket was purchased in main, and I used RUCs to get into regular first class. I arrive about 8am and my next flight to SEA leaves at noon. I’d like to buy a pass into either E or F club to grab a shower. Can anyone give me an idea how crowded they would be at that hour, would there be a problem with me getting in and getting a shower and how long could I hang out in the lounge? Thank you!
