Success at Terminal 3 LHR on a Delta flight with using the Skyteam Elite Plus status via Volare.

Checked-in online, had my Virgin FF on my ticket.
At the airport counter, they wanted to charge me £50 for check-in bags (I was on a basic economy fare). However, I showed my Skyteam Elite Plus. The agent had to consult a laminated sheet about the benefits of Skyteam, but she quickly waived the charge.

No entry to the Virgin Clubhouse lounge, even though it is for Delta customers.
However, I got access to the Club Aspire lounge (that other Skyteam airlines use). No quibbles on the Skyteam Elite Plus getting entry, although the agent did grumble that normally, they only let people in on flight to Paris or Amsterdam.

Am going to see if I can get lounge access in the US airports and report back!
