I didn't see the big deal either until I read all the posts in the other thread from FF's much more traveled than I. The concensus seemed to be that it was meant to facilitate elite boarding if the elite pax arrived after their zone was called. So, standing corrected as it were, I've since been lining up at GB if I'm there early.
It doesn't help that DL has NOTHING on their website about Breezeway. I did a search and there is nothing about it. No press release, nothing. I am not saying CO is a superior airline, but jeez they trump every piece of minutia as an "enhancement" of your services and they shove it down your throat.
I haven't seen anything on the website either, but I just found this email in my deleted folder:
Hello Marylou, Find a Flight
We know you don't have time to wait. So we implemented a new "Breezeway" system to make it easier for elite passengers to speed through the boarding process at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Here's the deal:
Take advantage of the Breezeway (which runs parallel to the general boarding line at the gate) if you're a Medallion® member, First Class, BusinessElite®, Business Class, SkyTeam® Elite or SkyTeam Elite Plus customer
Present your boarding pass and the gate agent will stop general boarding to scan it
Proceed immediately to the jetway and your awaiting seat
Easy enough. So when can you give it a whirl? The lanes are now available in Atlanta, and we'll expand to all domestic Delta and Delta Connection® gates by year's end.
Enjoy the breeze!
So now I'm back to not knowing what the heck they mean by it. Can we get a clarification from someone at Delta?
