Quick question; does anyone know if flying Delta BusinessElite to London gets you into the JFK clubhouse, or only Delta's own lounge?

Flying DL BusinessElite actually qualifies you for both (DL Sky Club and VS Clubhouse) JFK lounges. In fact, I "multi-lounged" on my last DL BE trip...

And - a reminder - you can also use VS Revivals lounge upon arrival, in LHR T3 as it's a DL/VS codeshare flight.

Hope this helps.

Does the fact you are AU make a difference?

Nope. All BE passengers are eligible.

Good question!

If you're a VS Gold member flying Delta domestic departing from JFK (crediting the flight to VS), would you have access to the JFK Clubhouse at Terminal 4?

Not domestic, alas; you'd need a "same-day nonstop transatlantic flight to the U.K." on a DL/VS codeshare.

Thanks. Missed your original post but that's good to know. Revivals access is definitely a plus y)

I am VS gold and fly delta domestic out of terminal 4 all the time. I have never had an issue getting in....as long as you have your gold card you should be good to go.

That's interesting, and not my understanding of the rules too. But good for you, stay hush!

You might have been lucky all these times (and good for you, as Slinky says!). About two weeks ago I was in the JFK CH and saw two DL domestic pax turned away at reception for not having a transatlantic flight to LHR.

Were they VS Au or DL elites? Maybe for once they look more favorably on their own flyers. Probably more likely that YMMV.

Thx! I'm VS Au based in NYC and when flying domestically I'll give this a shot and will make sure to bring my Au card. I have tried to get in the DL SkyClub since it's closer to the DL gates (10 min walk to VS Clubhouse from DL Terminal 4 area).
