How to prove skyteam elite status w/out FFP card?

On the outbound leg of an intl flight I discovered that I could have used my delta silver status to get priority check-in. Thing is, I did not bring my delta FF card with me (flying KE with no status).

Is there a way to prove my status to get my skyteam benefits without my delta card for the return trip? Thanks!

Having a printout of your FF account summary showing the status should work. Sometimes elite bag tags work for elite lines but not lounge privileges. For check in, the agent can see your status in the computer but the dragon controlling access to the line cannot. YMMV. However, if you have received your card, you should carry it when traveling.

I would suggest phoning KE before your return flight, and asking them to add your DL number to your reservation. Your Elite status should then show in the system, and on your boarding cards when printed (although that's too late, if you're hoping to use the priority queue for manual check-in).

Agreed - hopefully this should be sufficient to get you into the priority queue - and if your FF number is in the reservation, that would hopefully be enough for everything else.
