LeftCoast, which airline are you flying with? There are several lounges available for business class passengers sponsored by each airline.

If I know which airline I can tell you where to find their lounge.

I am also curious about the answer for this for a COACH fare customer.

I believe I saw something where you could purchase a pass for $35 per person.

I’ve been going to the Bidvest Lounge the last several years. I believe it was about $35. Well worth the money. Lots of different foods and drinks.
I got my monies worth!

I’m flying Delta to ATL. Traveling via economy seats but will gladly pay for club access.

+2 for the Bidvest Lounge. $35 sounds about right from memory. Included in admission cost are bathrooms where you can take a shower to freshen up. I used the shower once and the shower tray filled up a bit due to water being slow to drain. Food and drink is plentiful. Bidvest is conveniently located also. Other airline lounges are available where you can purchase entry without being an airline club member. I made front desk enquiries at a couple of these but they were more spendy than Bidvest.

If memory serves I had to show my Boarding Pass to Bidvest. I think they admit you only within 4 hours of your flight time.

Do you have to pay in advance for the Bidvest lounge or just arrive and provide your credit card? A shower before the flight sounds welcomed.

Go to the Bidvest front desk and pay there. My Visa credit card was fine.
Once I looked into pre purchasing a pass via Bidvests website and emailed an enquiry. Never got a reply. I assumed they don't monitor emails and probably prefer people to pay at point of entry.
