Companion and Sky Priority
Travelling EDI - AMS - IAD with a colleague next week. We're on separate tickets and he has no status.
Can i use my Sky Priority to:
check his bags in in his own name?
take both of us through fast track security?
Both use priority boarding?
Tried searching for answers but couldn't find anything in last year or two

Yes, this is usually no problem. Just stay together. For the bag, under his name, he may get the Priority yellow rag, but the barcode will not include a priority information.

> check his bags in in his own name?
Unlikely. I have had this done before but only once in my life.
> take both of us through fast track security?
Possibly. At AMS they'll usually prevent you from doing it but at outstations it's usually less of a problem.
> Both use priority boarding?
Not officially but practically that's almost always ok.

Although it is personal, at least one of its benefits presupposes someone else: the ability to guest someone (who has to fly the same flights as the SP cardholder) into the lounge. Allowing the travel companion (who, again, would have to fly the same flights as the SP cardholder) to go through fast track security would be a natural corollary of the previous benefit.

SP is only for
- fast track security, where available
- priority boarding
- priority checking and baggage handling.
Where you may be confused, SkyPriority is often automatically handed out at the same time as lounge access - business class, elites... But for example, Flex Eco tickets have SP but don't have lounge access.
Also, there is no such thing as SkyPriority card or cardholder. SkyPriority benefits are flight dependent.

SkyPriority has nothing to do with lounge access.

Your guests must be traveling on the same flight as you, with AIR FRANCE, KLM or a SkyTeam alliance member airline. Additionally, your presence is required for your guests to enter the lounge.
