It's a nice looking North Face jacket, nice enough to wear in the lounge.

At best, anyone looking at you is gunna think you're oddly fond of an airline. More likely they'll conclude you're an employee.

So if you're looking for incognito, Delta branded apparel probably ain't the way to go.

I see lots of medallion status luggage tags and a few Delta labeled carry on bags in the lounge. My father-in-law is a United fan and would wear a United windbreaker if they gave him one. Lots of passengers display their airline swag to show other passengers that they travel a lot. These same people also let gate agents and FAs know hoe many miles they have whenever they talk also. Wearing a Delta windbreaker will probably make you look MORE like a passenger.

I use my Amex benefit to go in there a lot. Crew members generally stick out like a sore thumb. Uniform with hastily thrown on pullover, Luggageworks bag with hat stuffed in the handle, and hoarding plates of food and cookies "to go".
I had the greeter actually thank me for changing shirts (wore a polo) one day since he saw my luggage and knew i was Crew.
You want to go incognito in a lounge? Buy new luggage and completely change your outfit. Get a Bluetooth headset and make some calls, yelling so that you are sure everyone in there knows how important you are. Otherwise, just lay low in the corner like the rest of us.

I was going to go with the giant headphones that I never take off?

Don't forget to cut in the food line with those things on and pretend no one else exists or matters. Except for that important phone call you're on.

Reviving this thread. Small topic on the current landscape BUT anyone asking relief from Amex on the $550 fee or just dumping them #baloney19.

Been a customer for 4 years but haven’t used my card for 6-8 months with #baloney19. Doesn’t seem right to pay the fee for services I can’t even use.

I called the loyalty division and they gave me a $500 statement credit. I use my card for all my purchases so I’m a very active member. YMMV.

For personal platinum cards, they just started offering a $20 per month statement credit for cell phone service and a $20 per month statement credit for streaming services until the end of the year.

Adding in the Uber / Uber Eats credits and Saks... I'm still happy with the card.
