Does Sky Priority include silver?

At airports which do not have a dedicated Silver Medallion check-in lane, Silver Medallion Members are permitted to use the Sky Priority check-in lane. (6) Annual memberships are available for US citizens, legal permanent residents, and citizens of US territories, 18 and older with valid photo ID.



Generally, no, Sky Priority does not include Silver Medallion members. On Delta Air Lines and within the SkyTeam alliance, the "Sky Priority" brand is a specific suite of elite services—including priority check-in, security, and boarding—that is reserved for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Medallion members (equivalent to SkyTeam Elite Plus). Silver Medallion members are classified as SkyTeam Elite (not Plus). While Silver members do get several "priority" perks, they are distinct from the Sky Priority brand. Specifically, Silver members get Priority Check-in (using the Silver-designated lane) and Main Cabin 1 Boarding, which is one group after the Sky Priority boarding group. In 2026, the only way a Silver member gets full Sky Priority access is if they are flying in a premium cabin (Delta One or First Class) or if they are traveling on an international flight where they have been upgraded to a class that carries the benefit regardless of their status.
