Skyteam lounge at PTY
Delta GM flying PTY->ATL->LGA next week. Skyteam.com indicates that the skyteam lounge is the American Airlines lounge.
That seems strange since American is in a 100% separate alliance. Does anyone have any experience using this lounge?
Doubt i'll have much time to use it with a 745am flight, but still.

Copa lounge is decent. Not sure how one would access it with a Delta flight. A day pass is $50.
Here's another option: http://www.tocumenroyalsaloon.com/index-en.html (landside, unfortunately)

At HKG, DL has been using the QF business class lounge. [It's very good.] So there's precedent or at least other examples of DL paying for access to oneworld lounges in certain airports. If DL doesn't see fit to maintain a lounge at an airport where there should be one, for example for BE passengers, obviously DL should compare possibilities for contract lounges versus lounges operated by other carriers.

since this was a PTY thread; was curious (for later this week),
lounge access when flying KLM PTY-AMS (Diamond Medallion, not that this really matters) in business class. Any thoughts?
