I went to check in and I usually just print out my boarding pass at the kiosk, since I don't want to waste paper at home

At the end of the check in process on DL's website, it says "Now that you're checked in, be sure to take advantage of your Sky Priority benefits at the airport"

I went to go through the check in process again and I decided to see how my boarding pass looks like, and instead of "Sky Priority", it says "Expedite", what does this mean? Can I check in with the F and BE passengers and go to the priority screening line at security?

I went to Google and FT to see what it means, but I couldn't find anything.

It would be great if I can get Sky Priority.

One note: I do have the AMEX DL Reserve card, since I saw it in the FT forum.

Thanks for reading

You may be able to get some "Have one on us" coupons out of it

Hi, thanks for your help, but I already referenced that thread, because it provides no real answer to it. However though, I did call DL and they said that it's one of the perks of having the DL reserve card.

I asked specifically if I can access the priority check in and screening line and the operator said yes.

So there's the answer for future reference for anybody asking about it

It means TSA will only fondle your "junk" once.

interesting... OP, do you have medallion status? gold and above?

Still nobody has any idea? I've had EXPEDITE on every boarding pass I've gotten this year except for 3 flights one day when they all printed out SKY PRIORITY.

Just looked at my boarding passes from 02/11.

Says DIAMOND/ELITEPLUS /SKY CLUB on one part, and SKY PRIORITY on the other part.

Was a K class fare upgraded using PMU Certs from last year LAS-ATL-BUF. Had a Z class LAS-ATL (though it was a regular FC not BE) and a G class ATL-BUF.

No Reserve Card, just regular Amex Plat. No EXPEDITE on the pass anywhere.

Looked at my BP from yesterday, same thing. Also don't have DL Reserve so maybe it is some bennie the card is offering?

I am going to have to look for the boarding pass I printed in the hotel before heading to the BKK airport last week. I don't recall seeing anything like Expedite on it. But...

I have no Elite status at all. I was flying on an economy award (low) ticket. When I entered the check-in area, I showed my printed boarding pass to the attendant and asked whether there was a line for checking luggage only.

After a quick look at my BP, she lead me straight to the Sky Priority line. I figured this must be some kind of mistake, and fully expected to be told I was in the wrong line when it was my turn to wait for the next available check-in agent.

But nothing like that occurred. In fact the agent came out from behind the kiosk and did the whole kiosk thing for me, and even hauled my golf bag over to the oversize luggage area.

No, I had no status when I used it.

I did run into some trouble at BOS. I went to go check my bags in the Sky Priority line and the agent said "you're not a medallion member". I said "I know, but I still have sky priority" She looked at the BP one more time and said "I'll take you anyways. . ." This happened on 2/12/2011

I think you may be right...I do have the card FWIW. Still no clue as to what it does though.

It might just be that - No status (or maybe Silver) + DL Reserve = Expedite...

Something like 'unpublished sky priority for DL Reserve hon-gold+ members "

Anyone else with 'expedite' data points?

goodandclassy

hm. those three SP flights - were they rebookings per chance? Maybe you got booked in Y and that got you SP (vs Expedite?)

Otherwise, the theory holds --> Reserve + FO/no status = Expedite

branman1986

My data points:

No status + Reserve, 10 or so random BPs all with EXPEDITE
FO + Reserve, 3 flights, BPs all printed at once, SKY PRIORITY
FO + Reserve, a flight the very next day back to EXPEDITE

One other piece of data is that I got upgraded on the last leg of the 3 flights, so that may have bumped it to SKY PRIORITY and trumped EXPEDITE. All flights were LUTs, except the one V.

So we may be onto why EXPEDITE shows up, but still no idea what the heck it does.
