Sky Priority®
Air travel is about getting you there. Sky Priority® helps get you there faster with exclusive services designed to improve your travel experience at every step. With Sky Priority, you'll enjoy faster check-in and accelerated security, early boarding, and expedited baggage service.
Don’t let airport check-in slow you down. Enjoy dedicated check-in areas at the airport to help you move through quickly and get to your gate even faster.
Sky Priority gives your bags special treatment. Our expedited baggage service ensures your bags arrive first on the carousel, to help get you on your way sooner.
Speed through security with exclusive security lines at select airports. The Sky Priority expedited security lines are offered during peak times and can change locations. Be on the lookout for our Sky Priority signs to locate these lines or simply ask a Delta representative to direct you.
Being among the first on the plane definitely has its advantages. Boarding with Sky Priority lets you secure superior overhead bins, so you can settle in sooner and relax before takeoff.
