Lounges at LGA DL Terminal
First time flying DL in 20 years. Are there any lounges that I would have access to in Terminal C? I have an Amex Platinum (not the DL Reserve version) and Priority Pass membership.
If nothing is available, can I pay for access to the SkyClub?

An Amex Plat cardholder on a same-day Delta operated flight (or DL marketed, WS operated flight) is eligible for entry to Sky Club. It cannot otherwise be used for entry when flying Delta partners or other airlines. Delta no longer sells one-time day visits or day passes to Sky Clubs to general public.

Yeah AMEX Platinum will get you in. Make sure you have the card on you in case it's not correctly tied to your account.
Whenever I travel with my wife (who is an authorized user on my AMEX Plat), she has to physically show her card (either to a person or to swipe in the new self check-in machines)

I wish I could say the LGA lounge is indicative of SkyClubs in general, but the truth is, it is exceptionally one of the better ones out there. In any case, we welcome all refugees from the dAArk side.

It's representative of the new clubs, however. New skyclubs in LAX, SLC, MSP are equally high quality (and a few others that I haven't personally been to).

agree, and will add BNA, ORD, MCI, and while not new-- PHX is outstanding too. I am in all of these listed frequently. HUGE upgrades

There is a Centurion lounge at LGA, but located at Terminal B. Given there are no available airside buses, if you can get into the DL SC all is well.

And this thread right here is exactly why Skyclubs are packed.
No offense intended, but the fact that a generic Platinum card can get a once a decade Delta flyer into the club is absurd.
