Zone Boarding
I have upcoming flights tomorrow and just noticed on my boarding pass that on the 1st leg I'm in Zone 1 for boarding with exit row seat- what I usually pick. On the connecting flight- there weren't any exit rows available so picked another premium seat. I notice that the boarding pass for flight has Zone 2 boarding.
This is the first time I've been "de-zoned" from Zone 1 as Silver/Elite. I don't think I have been in Zone 2 all year- with any seat I've picked available as premium.
Is this something new? Did DL decide the seat I picked is no longer worthy of being a premium seat?

If you're in exit row you are zone 1 WITHOUT SP (but others have had variable experiences). If not exit, FO is zone 2. I've had this happen a few times as well.

- First/BE boards (noted as PREM or Premium on BPs and not a zone), then
- Zone 1 (DM, PM, GM, STE+, MVP Gold, Exit Row) followed by
- Zone 2 (FO, those seated in Z2)
Hope the OP can switch to exits on the other segments.
