Travel shouldn't wear you out before takeoff. That’s why we created the Delta Sky Priority suite of services. Now, instead of waiting, you always go first—whether it’s through the airport, onto the plane, or out of baggage claim.
All these services are yours if you earn Gold Medallion® status or above. Not a Diamond, Platinum, or Gold Medallion member? You can experience Sky Priority services immediately by booking a BusinessElite, First Class, or Business Class ticket, or if you’re a SkyTeam® Elite Plus or Alaska Airlines® MVP® Gold member.
What's even better? Sky Priority will soon be available across our 15-member SkyTeam® global airline alliance. This means that eligible Medallion and SkyTeam Elite Plus members, as well as First and Business Class customers, will experience premium airport services when flying on SkyTeam airlines. SkyTeam airlines include Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Air France, Alitalia, China Airlines, China Eastern, China Southern, Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Kenya Airways, KLM, Korean Air, TAROM and Vietnam Airlines. The rollout will start this March at selected hubs and will be gradually implemented at more than 800 stations over the next several months and available at more than 1,000 airports by early 2013.

Look for the words “Sky Priority” on your ticket and for the Sky Priority signs throughout the airport. You’ll enjoy upgraded benefits like:
