I mean, DL FO and GM are both ST Elite, even though they are different tiers in SM.

Incidentally, if you ever fly out of TLV on AZ or AF, be certain to ask for your VIP Lounge pass when checking in. It is given to Ulisse, AF Bleu, and Delta Gold Medallion members.

I can't see how they can possibly refuse entry!
