Pointless reminiscing about the good old days incoming, be forewarned:
My dad was a Platinum Medallion back in the 90s, before there was a Diamond Medallion, and a Million Mile Flyer back when that was a rarefied group. He flew all the time for work, and he would use his miles to fly us to Florida or Hawaii for vacation. Maybe he was also paying for my mom and I to enter the clubs back then, I don't remember. I just know it seemed like a simple process, and it didn't matter whether we were in coach or first class; he had access regardless. He retired in 2000 but has lifetime Platinum Medallion status. I should ask him if he ever bothers trying to get into the Sky Club when he travels these days.

One reason I don't want to see an escape lounge as the other one. It is basically an amex club also. I don't have an issue with the Delta one, as I think they will be the biggest non-southwest here, but I would rather see a priority pass lounge as the other one.

Priority pass is also included with the Amex

From the video it was mentioned they'd have a timed entry for the open house similar to a departure time for a flight.
