What lounges can I access with Delta Platinum?

Delta SkyMiles Platinum and Platinum Business Basic and Additional Card Members (“Platinum Card Members”) have access to the Delta Sky Club at a per-visit rate of $50 per person when traveling on a same-day Delta or Delta partner airline flight.



In 2026, it is vital to distinguish between the Delta SkyMiles Platinum American Express Card and Delta SkyMiles Platinum Medallion Status. If you hold the credit card, you do not receive complimentary access to Delta Sky Clubs. Instead, you have the option to purchase a per-visit pass for yourself and up to two guests at a discounted rate (typically $50 per person), provided you are flying on a same-day Delta-operated flight. However, if you have Platinum Medallion Status, you may receive SkyTeam Elite Plus benefits, which grant you access to SkyTeam partner lounges (like Air France or KLM) when traveling on an international flight in any cabin. For domestic flights, even Platinum Medallion members generally do not get Sky Club access unless they have a separate membership or are flying in Delta One. Always check the Delta app before your trip, as lounge policies have become stricter regarding "overcrowding" and may require a confirmed seat in a premium cabin for entry.
