SkyTeam Elite Plus is the highest level of frequent flyer recognition within the SkyTeam airline alliance (which includes Delta, Air France, KLM, and others). It is achieved by reaching a high-tier status in a member airline's individual loyalty program (for example, Gold Medallion or higher on Delta). In 2026, the most coveted benefit of Elite Plus is guaranteed lounge access; members receive entry to over 750 SkyTeam lounges worldwide when traveling on an international flight, regardless of their class of service, and are allowed to bring one guest. Other "SkyPriority" perks include priority check-in, priority security lanes, priority boarding, and priority baggage handling. Additionally, Elite Plus members receive an extra baggage allowance (either 20kg or one additional bag depending on the carrier) and guaranteed reservations on full-fare Y-class tickets for sold-out long-haul flights if booked at least 24 hours in advance. This status is designed to provide a seamless, high-end travel experience for the alliance's most loyal international travelers across its global network of nearly 20 airlines.
