At least when flying DL, you do get somewhat early boarding in zone 1, special check in lines (SkyPriority in most smaller airports), and special security lines in some airports. IIRC a free bag is a SkyTeam Elite benefit on any SkyTeam flight. On DL you get premium seats and free domestic EC during OLCI. IIRC you get a discount on KLM and DL international EC fees.
