Gold Amex Gives Sky Priority?
 
Did OLCI for a family member heading home today and while she has a Gold Delta Amex, she is not a Medallion of any sort (nor has she ever been). I sent her a link to the eBP via web and when she clicked the link it pulled up a boarding pass tagged with Sky Priority!

I know there were issues in the past with eBP showing SP for FO and have seen questions about SP for Reserve cards, but for Gold? Was this a one-time glitch or is this the standard now?

At least lizbeth is happy...

What there a 1st class seat in the mix on any of her segments? As an FO, if I get an upgrade at the window for any of my flights, I've found that I automatically get SKY for all other connections on the same day even though I should technically be in Zone 1.

No, Amex does not give sky priority. There should have been an upgrade or a first class segment in the itinerary. For silver medallion or gold amex, it is sky zone.

Definitely says Zone 1, but the red Sky Priority banner is at the top of the screen.

I have no status, but ever since I got the Plat DL Amex my BPs have had the red Sky Priority banner on them. The boarding zone is Zone 1. The first few times it happened I thought it was strange, but now it sounds like I'm not the only one.

Wow. Long time lurker! Welcome to FT!

I always have the Sky Priority banner on my BP's as well, but boarding is Zone 1 if I'm in Coach.

No, Amex does not give sky priority.

Perhaps you have old information? ;)

Could there have been an A or P fare on one of the segments?

I've seen it many times. BP will say Sky Priority...but, if you're checking a bag it doesn't print Priority on the bag tag. The cause....I'll leave it up to you.

Silver Medallion and Gold Amex get Zone 1 boarding. It's Skyteam Elite+ that get the SKY zone boarding. FC gets PREM zone boarding.

Odd that the SP banner appears then.

Access to Sky Priority depends on the airport as well. At BOS for instance, as a FO I was guided to the SP line.
