Question For Silvers Re: Sky Priority
We all know that ATL is for GM and up with regards to check in, security lines, etc. Though I have noticed at various airport such as LAS, MIA, FLL, & others that Amex (Silver) medallions can actually take advantage of these various perks. What other airports have other SM seen this at?

I've mostly noticed it at small outstations, although some hubs have special areas/lines for Silvers--for example, at MSP, FO has a special check in line and then (this isn't publicized) they can go to the opposite end of the airport and use the all-airline elite security line (but not the DL SP security line unless they are eligible for PreCheck, although I don't know how they would prove this to the DL staff member serving as SP line dragon, who does check eligibility for the SP area).

Thanks, has anyone noticed it specifically at MCO? I feel like they do let silvers do everything GM and higher can there, but I cant remember for sure.

MDW and PIT allow SM to use the Priority Security lane. I'm guessing most other "non-DL hub" airports do the same.

Somebody in the AS forum posted this sign from SFO which shows Silver Medallions are permitted there (although this is a check-in lane, not a security lane) -- SFO Sky Priority Sign

The placard at haneda reads that FO are allowed to check in through the sky priority line. LAX also. Though I noticed that from lax to hnd, I had yellow sky priority tags on the luggage, whil from hnd to lax, they did not.

I thought LAX had a separate check in line for FO, although it might be in the SkyPriority area.

If there is not a dedicated Silver checkin line, then silvers can use the SP checkin lane.
Security is more of a YMMV thing, as it (unlike "priority checkin") is not a stated benefit for FOs,
