Does Delta have priority security?

The designated frequent traveler priority security lines are offered during peak times in select cities for Diamond, Platinum, Gold Medallion Members, GOL Smiles Diamante members, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Gold members, , SkyTeam Elite Plus members, and those customers traveling in Delta One®, Delta Premium Select or ...



Yes, Delta offers priority security access through its Sky Priority program. This benefit is available to passengers flying in Delta One, First Class, or Premium Select, as well as those with Diamond, Platinum, or Gold Medallion status. SkyTeam Elite Plus members also receive this perk. Look for the "Sky Priority" signage at the entrance to the security area in major Delta hubs like Atlanta, Detroit, or Salt Lake City; these dedicated lanes allow you to bypass the standard queue and reach the TSA screening area much faster. It is important to note that Sky Priority security is not the same as TSA PreCheck or CLEAR; it only gets you to the front of the "standard" line faster. However, if you have both Sky Priority and TSA PreCheck, you can often find a "Priority PreCheck" lane at certain airports, providing the fastest possible transit through the terminal. If you are flying in "Main Cabin" without elite status, you will not have access to these lanes unless you purchase a "Trip Extra" that specifically includes priority access.
