If you have Skyteam Elite Plus status, it does not matter what ticket type you have (as long as it is for travel on Skyteam-member airlines) and you get the usual, complete set of Skyteam Elite Plus status benefits, including:

• 1 baggage item over and above whatever allowance may be included as part of the ticket
