KLM Lounge with AMEX Platinum?

I know you can enter Delta Lounges with AMEX Platinum cards, but can you enter other Skyteam lounges with it as well? I will be flying back from Vienna in June and since there is no Delta lounge (only KLM), can I use my AMEX card to get in that lounge?

If not, what would you recommend to do for the 3 hours I am stuck at VIE?

No lounge access. You only get access to:

1. Continental
2. Delta
3. Northwest
4. American Airlines

VIE used to have a dedicated AMEX lounge (accessible for Gold Card and higher cardmembers), but I don't think that it's still there. I am flying frequently out of VIE, but never transited there so I can't tell. I always arrive at the last minute with no time for a lounge. I made NY-bound flights by arriving at the airport 30 minutes before departure time, even when checking bags.

In any case, VIE is a *great* airport. Plenty of shopping and restaurants if you can get land side (or to the Schengen area), but you will have to go through immigration and customs.
