AMSTERDAM, 20 January 2025 - As part of our commitment to enhancing the airport experience, effective 1 April 2025, SkyTeam is making some changes to the lounge access policy for our Elite Plus, First and Business Class customers. We thank you for your understanding as we work to make the travel experience smoother for you and all our customers.
Domestic lounge access
For the very first time, SkyTeam will offer lounge access to Elite Plus customers* traveling on domestic flights as an additional benefit. Domestic lounge access will initially be available at selected lounges of Air France, China Eastern, Garuda Indonesia, Kenya Airways, KLM, SAS, Saudia, and Vietnam Airlines.
SkyTeam and its members plan to gradually widen domestic lounge access to more lounges in the future**.
Elite Plus Guest changes
Elite Plus customers are entitled to bring one guest into the lounge with them. All guests must be traveling on the same SkyTeam-operated flight as the Elite Plus customer.
3-hour lounge access on departure
To help deliver a more relaxing pre-flight experience for eligible Elite Plus, First and Business Class customers on departure, a 3-hour lounge access will be introduced at more lounges. Elite Plus customers transferring between two SkyTeam-operated flights will continue to enjoy same-day/24-hour access at the point of connection.
* Separate domestic lounge access policies may apply to members of Aerolineas Argentinas’ Aerolineas Plus and Delta Air Lines’ SkyMiles programs.
** Access for Elite Plus customers traveling on domestic flights will not be available at all SkyTeam member lounges.
