Access to and use of Delta Sky Priority services are reserved for Delta One®, Delta Premium Select and First Class passengers, Diamond, Platinum and Gold Medallion® Members, and SkyTeam® Elite Plus members on all Delta and Delta Connection® flights.

Yes, Delta Platinum Medallion status automatically includes Sky Priority benefits as a core feature of the tier. In 2026, this designation grants you a suite of expedited services at the airport, including dedicated Sky Priority check-in counters, access to priority security lanes where available, and "Group 1" priority boarding. Furthermore, your checked luggage is tagged with "Sky Priority" labels, ensuring it is among the first to arrive on the baggage carousel at your destination. Beyond the airport, Platinum status carries the SkyTeam Elite Plus designation, which is highly valuable for international travel. This provides you with lounge access at SkyTeam partner lounges worldwide (even when flying in Economy), extra baggage allowances, and priority standby. While it is one tier below the top-level Diamond status, Platinum remains the "sweet spot" for many frequent flyers because it offers almost all the "time-saving" priority perks without the significantly higher spending requirements of the Diamond level.
