Any firsthand reports today?
I have a domestic DL LGA-BOS tomorrow.
Checked in online using my Matmid # and status shows Platinum Medallion / Elite Plus - allowing me to check suitcases for free and preferred seats.

I'll let you know about lounge access tomorrow but I'm not very hopeful

is this normal post Oct 7 that every ELAL flight NYC-TLV this Wed, Thurs & Sat is sold out,
that's 12 flights without even one seat available

(I see there's one seat on LY28 on Wed but my point remains)

You will not get access unless you have a membership/cc access

Comfort + I believe. Will check.

As expected no access.
The sky club manager did say that if I had a same day business class flight on LY issued by DL, they would allow access.

They haven't figured out clear rules yet

I was considering doing something similar, but on the EL AL website they said it could take up to 7 days.
Does anyone have any recent DPs as to how long it takes for them to produce the voucher?

Was not successful online or throughout the trip?
The website can add a skymiles number but doesn't seem to recognize any status
Did you try contacting CS?
