For years VS Gold card holders have been able to access DL lounges when connecting to / from an international flight, regardless of travel class (and the VS website confirms this).
Flying SAN - LAX - LHR in economy lite (!) today I was initially refused entry entry at SAN saying that basic economy fares no longer access DL lounges. They showed me the written criteria which changed in January. Thankfully they took pitty, and let me in ‘just this once’. Economy classic or above still seems to qualify.
As a side note, economy lite seats on DL are assigned at the gate, and not selectable from the VS website. One positive for today was being upgraded to comfort+ on the whopping 109 mile flight
