Why would you blame US for being smart about this, and negotiating access for their own members?

reciprocity & US Airways Club lounges
Well, as I see it, it is NOT a US Airways Club anymore. It is a DELTA SkyClub that just happens to be extending membership to US Airways Club members during the relocation due to the slot swap. So, I don't see this as US not following the reciprocity rules of the Star Alliance network at all - it's a DELTA club. They are not members of the Star Alliance.
US Airways Club members
Any US Airways Club member is entitled to Maple Leaf Lounge access when holding a valid membership card and a same-day confirmed ticket for travel on a departing Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz, Star Alliance or an Air Canada/US Airways codeshare flight. At no additional charge, the US Airways Club member may be accompanied by one guest who is also in possession of a same-day ticket on a qualifying, departing flight.

You may wish to re-read page three of this thread. There is a description of the food offerings (DL standard), wine selection (not DL standard), literature (DL-branded) and agents available for assistance (both US and DL). This seems to have answered your question about the snack offerings. What other information were you looking for?

For US Airways Club members who may be perplexed by this confusing post above, here are the rules for reciprocal access from the AP site:
US Airways Club members

At no additional charge, the US Airways Club member may be accompanied by one guest who is also in possession of a same-day ticket on a qualifying, departing flight.

US tries to do something nice and this is what happens. Ugh.

Yup. And the drinks are much free-er, and the beer is less Bud Light-er. Having spent years flying on Delta (and an Amex Platinum holder) I can say that the DL clubs tend to be nicer, on the whole. Save for the small clubs in ATL which are awful on so many levels.
Be aware that construction in ongoing at LGA outside of the club. It's kinda messy with waiting area seats randomly strewn about. So the lounge is a nice place to wait.
Oh, and the Shuttle gates moved. I can only imagine how many people walked 75% of the way to the old gates before realizing their mistake and backtracking. Oops.

Considering USAirways scaling back operations, it only makes sense for it to scale down as well.

Can I use a Club day pass to get into the US/DL LGA club?
I have a day pass from my US credit card. I know the Amex plat won't get me in the club while DL is operating it (since I'll be on a US flight), but will the day pass get me in?

Unlike annual club members who get physical cards, day passes are simply notations on your DM account in the US computer system (which DL wouldn't have access to). That said, the SkyClub may have arrangements in place while they're accepting US Club members so it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Hi - With the old US LGA club now closed, we know that once DL finishes renovating it in July, they will allow US club members into that Sky Club until the new US club is completed in late 2012.
What I'm wondering is, between now and July, will DL allow US club members into the existing Sky Club that is over in D? I believe DL is operating an airside shuttle bus between C & D, so if I have a long wait in C for my US flight, I'd like to be able to take the shuttle over to D and use the Sky Club there.

Has anyone with a RCC Membership used the DL club in LGA since the US Club closed? Or are they only allowing US club (and not the reciprocal folks)?
When I renewed, one primary reason I did so was to use the LGA US Club (with my RCC Membership), then it up and closes...
thanks,
MIke
