Delta Sky Club Access
IncludedYou receive 10 Sky Club visits per year, but only if you hold an eligible Platinum Card and fly on a same day Delta operated or Delta marketed WestJet flight. Basic Economy tickets are excluded. Credits can be used from February 1 - January 31 of the following year. They cannot be transferred, and apply only to you, not additional cardholders. A visit covers all club entries within 24 hours, but using Grab and Go twice at the same airport within three hours is restricted. Guests cost $50 each and must also meet flight requirements. Once you use your 10 visits, each additional visit costs $50.
Pro Tips
- 1Plan travel so you bundle flights and layovers within 24 hours, stretching one visit across multiple clubs.
- 2Use visits on long flights or when lounge perks matter, and skip them on short or budget trips.
- 3Save visits for long layovers or early departures.
- 4If you choose Delta as your eligible airline, you can stack the $200 airline incidental credit to offset guest fees.
