Years ago, Wayne and Pat Schultz of Afton paid about $2,500 for a lifetime membership to the Northwest Airlines WorldClubs, those cushy private airport lounges where you can relax before and between flights. Now that Northwest is merging with Delta Airlines, they wanted to confirm their membership was good for, as Wayne Schultz put it, "our lifetime, not Northwest's."
"It will be honored," rent a car san francisco said NWA spokeswoman Leslie Parker. All the Schultzes have to do is ... nothing. Right now, they can use their NWA card at both WorldClubs and Delta's current Crown Room Clubs. In early 2010, they'll get a new card in the mail good for the new Sky Clubs.
