Or Delta could try a new concept below

Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3

and then take off.....

The problem is they have created essentially 7 different zones to board. People are one of 2 when it comes to this

Confused (understandable if you dont travel often)

An ... (90% of everyone else)

For whatever reason people need some sort of validation & superiority by boarding before other people. FC gets to board first because they paid for it then everyone else board and be done. No almost every medallion needs to feel like they are superior and have a special boarding line and board before others etc. This is the most overhyped and pointless "perk" of medallion status. The medallion lot at Turner Field in my opinion is more worthwhile then boarding zone.

I purposely make sure to stay at a lower medallion level every year because at this point the only thing I care about is the 2 bags I can check at up to 70 lbs for "free". That is the best benefit DL offers. Everything else is just junk BS that makes people feel special.

I just think instead of creating more boarding zones, DL needs to say 1, 2, 3. Nobody is special etc etc
