Lounge access in LAX; VA codeshare on Delta

[RooFlyer]

Sorry for a predictable question but have trawled here and called VA and still not sure.

I'm thinking of travelling to LAX in J on Delta operated flight, on a VA code share, Velocity Red only

Which lounge in LAX?

* Other posts here indicate no Delta lounge access unless you are a member of their Skyclub, or VA Gold and above;

* Advice from VA this morning was consistent with the above - I could use the Virgin Atlantic lounge at TBIT, but not the Delta lounge (but the young lady seemed rather unsure);

* VA web site indicates that when travelling J on Delta operated flights VA code share, CAN use the Delta Skylounge




Anyone have any comment on travelling in J on DL TPAC? I'd probably prefer to fly QF, but this is an opportunity to boost my VA status.

You are not clear on when you wish to use a lounge.

Being on international Business you will have lounge access, but where is not clear from your framed question.

Lounge access in LAX is the main issue right now.

Where from? where to? DL metal?

That can be important ...

Hi serfty; though I had it covered in the OP:

... I guess I should have clarified by adding "... for the return journey to SYD, also a Delta flight, VA code share ...

Cheers

Then it would depart from T5 - being in Business in an International Itinerary with no relevant status, you would get access to the Delta Sky Club there (as you has already discerned).

I have only used it before a DL domestic flight from LAX - Quite large, Showers are OK, but nothing special.
