Changes to SkyTeam Lounge Access Policy
As communicated in January, SkyTeam has made some changes to the lounge access policy, effective 1 April 2025.As part of our commitment to enhancing the airport experience, SkyTeam has made some changes to the lounge access policy for our Elite Plus, First and Business Class customers, effective 1 April 2025.
Domestic Lounge Access
For the very first time, SkyTeam is offering 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, Vietnam Airlines and Xiamen Airlines. Please find the list of domestic lounges accessible today.
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 Aerolíneas Argentinas’ Aerolíneas 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.
