Delta Sky Priority is available to passengers who purchase first class and Delta One tickets and most Medallion members and SkyTeam Elite Plus travelers, no matter where they sit on the plane. Eligible travelers for Delta's Sky Priority service include: Delta One and first-class passengers.

To determine if you have Sky Priority status on a Delta or SkyTeam flight in 2026, the quickest way is to look at your digital or printed boarding pass. The words "Sky Priority" will be clearly printed in a prominent position, often near your boarding zone (typically Zone 1 or 2). Eligibility is reserved for those flying in Delta One, First Class, or Delta Premium Select, as well as Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Medallion members. If you are a SkyTeam Elite Plus member from a partner airline, you also qualify. You can also check your status in the Fly Delta app under your profile; if your medallion level is Gold or higher, the Sky Priority indicator will automatically apply to all eligible segments. This status grants you access to dedicated check-in lanes, accelerated security lines at select airports, and prioritized baggage handling, ensuring your luggage is among the first on the carousel upon arrival.
