I went to the one at Las Vegas Airport, much nicer than most Delta Lounges, much better food and no humus!

Agreed. However, if they are going to build one in Atl they might as well build 7 with all the concourses.

I'm not sure if this is good news or not. At least Delta has lounges in 90% of the places I fly to. As long as they keep the arrangement with Delta I think it is great. They have already lost the arrangement with American and United and if they lose Delta they won't be able to open enough lounges to make the Platinum card worth while.

Delta is so tied to AMEX that won't happen.

If you look at their website, it says you can get access to about 900 lounges worldwide...Bidvest (?) in Joburg and other airports. Reasonable fee to join, but two lowest levels of membership require fee to be paid for each visit. We used to get a 30 day membership for Delta Sky Clubs but since that apparently is no longer an option, we will be looking in to the Amex option.
