Keep in mind however only those with 90 posts and days tenure may post in this wiki, for more information regarding this thread click here.

Also, to keep the thread cleaner, if you see a compatible offer or request, please PM the individual in addition to posting 'PM sent to <ft handle(s)>', so those in this thread who are subscribed to the thread only can check the message. Not only will it make the thread cleaner, but the person offering access will likely get to the request quicker as the notification will be immediate. and may make special accommodations if necessary.

Some other suggestions to make your experience smoother can be found below:


-Hold a paper sign with the person offering or requesting access's handle
-Having a FT brag tag which can be found here (and may even inspire a mini-DO)
-Having prior conversations regarding your plans so neither of you are confused, this should also minimize the amount of time the person offering access will have to be outside of the club.




SEEKING SKY CLUB ACCESS:
e.g., DATE \ TIME PERIOD \ AIRPORT CODE \ FT HANDLE \ NOTES & PREFERRED NUMBER of GUESTS
e.g., 27th 2017, Thursday \ 1400-1600 \ HNL \ Slippahs \ just myself

---------------------------------------------------------------------

OFFERING SKY CLUB ACCESS:
e.g., DATE \ TIME PERIOD \ AIRPORT CODE \ FT HANDLE \ NOTES & MAX AMOUNT of GUESTS
e.g., 14th 2017, Monday \ 1400-1600 \ HNL \ Slippahs \ 2 Guests (May be reduced entry)

November 2019
Nov 23 / 1400-17:30 / ATL / Zorak +1

I've read the lounge in T4 at Heathrow that you used to be able to pay to get in to is now closed, so I'd very much appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

fyi - I was able to use my Delta Sky Club one-day pass recently at The Oasis lounge inside JFK's Terminal 4.

I was flying American (much to my chagrin) and therefore wasn't allowed to enter Delta's usual terminals at JFK, but they kindly pointed me in the direction of Terminal 4.

The Oasis is quite nice. Premium liqueurs, soup, salads, lots of snacks, and good wine selection, and decent views of the runway, plus a library-type open reading room.

I think the new format is great. I used to lurk hoping to be guested into a SC and that never happened. Now that I have an SC membership, I have been willing to guest people in - also with no luck. Can anyone share a meet up experience? My batting average is zero and just want to know if anyone has had better luck.

I signed up on the request list, let's keep our fingers crossed.

I have a question, I have a 5 hour layover in Boston on the 8th, will be going on to Heathrow in a new "Economy Comfort seat" and am not a Sky Club member. The flight brutal enough without the long layover. I figured I would just purchase the day pass, if nothing else comes along.

I could have sworn that when you book your flights that you had an opportunity to purchase a discounted one day pass for the Sky Club but can't seem to find it anywhere. It would of course be after the fact now since I've already got my tickets. I know you can buy discount Wi-Fi after the ticket purchase. Anybody know of a discounted day pass solution?

I have Delta dollars but I haven't seen anywhere you could use Delta Dollars for a Sky Club entry.

Thanks

Is it possible to add places like AMS and CDG where a lot of partners fly through on the list? ST Elite Plus can guest one person into lounges when on international itineraries, where lounge access can be really helpful. I don't have a SC membership, but this thread has helped me once and I'd be glad to pay it forward with my status on international flights

That said, I'll be in AMS (non-Schengen) on Saturday 11/19 late morning and again (Schengen side) on Monday 11/21 late morning. If anyone is interested, PM me. I will be traveling 11/18 so may not have immediate access.

how many can I sponsor?

I will have a 3.5 hour layover in ATL in December. I will be traveling with my wife and my sister and her husband. My wife and I each have Amex Plat, so it is my understanding that we can each take in 2 guests (in which case we can sponsor two more, after we guest my sis&husband). But can you actually take a spouse *plus* two guests? I'm just wondering whether I could be sneaky, claim my sister is my wife (eww, but she does have my last name, which my wife doesn't), thereby opening up an extra guest spot.

I'm guessing the answer is no, but I thought I'd ask ...

I second that! Please add some airports from outside the US as well (besides NRT). AMS and CDG are DL hubs; at the very least these should be on the list.

Thank you!

It is on my to do list. Thanks for the good suggestion. I'll take care of it on the long weekend and let you know when it's done.

If you think there may be demand for JNB, maybe you could add it, also. I'm there a couple times a year and could sponsor a guest. Thanks for adding AMS and CDG!

Looking forward to having AMS on the list.

In the meantime, am looking for an invite in AMS 21 Dec. between 17:30-20:30.

Can someone clarify a few things for me:

Are the sponsors, well, sponsoring people because it is free for them to do so? Further, if you're sponsored, does it go without saying that you're obligated to hang out with the person that got you in? I just don't get if this is simply a nice gesture for fellow forum members, or if this is people looking for drinking partners in an airport? Also, the going rate for Sky Club access is $25, right? That's what I paid last weekend anyways.

I sponsor because I like to. It helps someone out and can lead to good conversation. Sometimes we sit and chat, sometimes we don't, but I'm always happy to do it, no strings attached. For me at least, it's a nice gesture.

Agree with you there. As an Amex Plat cardholder, it costs me nothing, and from reading the posts here as a longtime lurker having finally made a posting account, I might get a decent chat out of it, and if not, I've helped make someone's day a bit easier. Most of my travel being between major hub airports, if I have a decent seatmate (+1 if she's cute) who has a layover, I'll gladly take them to the first SkyClub and bid them a good stay while I go on my way.

We're all on here as social creatures. Doesn't hurt to try it in RL sometime too.

I thought you get a discounted rate of $25 as an Amex Platinum cardholder?

The Delta-branded AmEx plat has a $25 one-visit pass option. The AmEx-branded plat gets access as part of the card fee.
