Zone 2 boarding
Mrs. jrp2 and I are flying in coach tmrw out of ATL on an MD88. Checked in online and it says we are boarding in zone 2. I thought that zone 2 was for medallion members which neither of us are. Not complaining, just curious.
Thanks.

With the introduction of SkyPriority, Zone 2 is now general boarding. Zone 1 is now for all Medallions and SkyTeam Elites, while First Class boards prior to Zone 1.

Zone 2 is Silver Medallion and elites on Delta partners. Prior to becoming SM, I did have an exit row one time and was given zone 2. Zone 1 is GM, PM, and DM. And, of course, now there is Prem for First Class. Enjoy!^
Edited to add: I just looked at your profile and noted that you are an AmEx Reserve holder. That may have something to do with the Zone 2 as well. Seems like I remember reading that gave you priority boarding.

Wrong. Zone 1 is DM, PM, and GM only. Zone 2 is FO. Could have to do with Reserve membership, or perhaps you are in a bulkhead?

When we got home from our trip, We stopped by the ATL DL SC. I asked one of the Delta folks there why we were in Zone 2, they couldn't explain to me why. The reserve card seems a reasonable answer. Thought I would update you guys.
