In the end only FF# was printed on the boarding pass, no other sign of the status. ("Sky priority" was printed but I assume this was because it was J tickets). Perhaps they failed to add the FF# correctly or perhaps there is no connection between CZ and AZ so they can't determine status? Or is this normal?


2. Have I understood the "Sky priority" concept correctly when I say there is no fixed benefit to it? Instead the benefits are determined from case to case, where the combination of airport, carrier and which airline's card you hold decides what benefits you get? I ask, because I was denied priority security at HND with the explanation that ticket and membership card has to be from the same airline.
skyteam.com suggests prio security is a part of "sky priority" but it would seem that different airports have different takes on it.
