Do the CR benefits extend to international flights, specifically SkyPriority lane for checking bags, zone 1 boarding, etc. for SPG Plats (I know DL doesn't offer upgrades on int'l flights)? Have not tried to use the lane since getting SPG Plat status a few weeks ago but the FAQs state that I am able to use it through the CR program. Not sure, however, if the benefits are just domestic or if they apply to all DL flights and there is no distinction on the DL FAQs. T2 is a zoo in the early evening when they push out the few wide body int'l flights that leave from that terminal. It would be great to use the SkyPriority line to check my bag and avoid the mess! Thanks
Can't remember if JFK has a dedicated silver check in or not, but if they do and you are on DL metal, you should be able to use it. If not then you can use Skypriority check in, but like domestic travel, you won't be able to use the SP security lane. You should be able to board with Zone 1.
Not sure how the luggage allowance will work since non-status gets one free checked bag anyway as far as getting an additional bag.
Like you said, DL doesn't do upgrades on internationals. They will opup people but only if coach is oversold but it will be Delta elites that will get upgraded first.
