Advice well taken - didn’t intend to try it on but was curious. And apologies for not seeing the graphic - they don’t always load well via my phone.
I have checked in now. I was invited to fast track security for me and my party. We also have lounge access (for 2, other used priority pass). We used our full allowance for luggage (plus the 1kg leeway) and was allowed (even asked to…) additionally short check one of our hand carry to AMS (we have an Embraer and I know their overhead bins are small). I did ask if I could get the luggage benefit with my status and the answer was “computer says no”. For what it’s worth they did have a whole discussion over my bags because the girl I checked in with isn’t used to weight concept on KLM and even said she never gets that.
So full perks minus the baggage it seems.
And yes my boarding pass featured the Sky Priority markings.
