This is how I understood it. I recently flew DL for the first time since Breezeway was introduced and I have to say I was thoroughly confused.

As an elite, I thought I could use Breezeway at any time (it doesn't say otherwise on the boarding pass and neither did anyone else) but it turns out I can only use it after Zone 1 has boarded through the general line. Where's the sense in that? After being told off twice for using Breezeway even though I had a Breezeway boarding pass, I gave up and used the general line. If I had been sent to the Breezeway line after that I think I would have flipped!

Correct!

On the bright side, Breezeway will never be as maddening...as totally, bafflingly insane...as KLM's ideas on "priority boarding"
