It’s Feb. 1, which means a new set of rules is now in place for those who access Delta Air Lines’ Sky Clubs via their credit cards. That means it also may be a good time to look a bit more broadly at your airport lounge strategy.
Here are some key highlights of the Delta Sky Club lounge policy changes taking effect today:
There is now a cap of either 10 or 15 annual included Sky Club visits, depending on which eligible card you enter under.
A visit encompasses a 24-hour period, so it would only count as one visit to pop into a Sky Club at your origin airport in the morning and one at your connection airport at midday.
And then there’s United Airlines’ United Club network, which I also visit a fair amount since I’m a Houston-based traveler. There is no cap on annual visits for those with the United Club℠ Infinite Card, which also allows cardholders to bring either two adult guests or one adult and any dependent children under 21 at no extra charge, making it a much better match for us than many more restrictive lounge networks.
What works best for you may come down to your location and travel habits. Here’s some more information to help you explore all of your lounge-access options:
