On Monday (January 20, 2025), SkyTeam announced lounge access policy changes for Elite Plus, First Class and Business Class customers effective April 1st, 2025. For the first-time ever, SkyTeam will offer lounge access to Elite Plus customers traveling on domestic flights as an added benefit. Initially, domestic lounge access will be available at select lounges of Air France, China Eastern, Garuda Indonesia, Kenya Airways, KLM, SAS, Saudia, and Vietnam Airlines. SkyTeam and member airlines plan to gradually widen domestic lounge access for eligible customers in the future.
With the access policy changes, Elite Plus customers are entitled to bring one guest into the lounge with them, providing the guest is traveling on the same SkyTeam-operated flight as the Elite Plus customer. In an effort to deliver a more relaxing pre-departure experience for eligible Elite Plus, First and Business Class customers, a three-hour lounge access will be introduced at more lounges. Elite Plus guests transferring between two SkyTeam-operated flights will continue to enjoy same-day/24-hour access at the point of connection.
SkyTeam is committed to powering a seamless customer journey, with all members working together to connect millions of passengers across an extensive worldwide network. Current members include Aerolineas Argentinas, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Air France, China Airlines, China Eastern, Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Garuda Indonesia, ITA Airways, Kenya Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Korean Air, Middle East Airlines, Saudia, TAROM, Vietnam Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Xiamen Air, and SAS.
