FYI you might have to explain to ground staff at boarding that “DIAMnd” boarding is the same as “D1” (at least at contracted staff airports)

today a swissport employee in Europe at the gate tried to direct me to the general boarding line and then when boarding I went into the sky priority line and the lady asked what boarding zone and I said Diamond and she waved me through but the original lady I heard said to the this person “this is D1 diamond does not board until the end”

seems like DL forgot to tell contracted employees the new boarding zones. I wish they had left PREM/SKY/1/2/3/4 alone but oh well

agree, if it aint broke dont fix. Or at least dont make it worse!
