Sky Priority Mixed Cabin Bookings
Hello,
I searched for the answer to this question in the forum but am afraid that I did not find it. Does anyone know if sky priority benefits (expedited lines and boarding groups) are done by segment or itinerary? I have a mixed cabin award booking tomorrow (domestic segment in Y connecting to international partner segment in J), and I was wondering if I should have Sky Priority boarding and access prior to the domestic departure.

IME it is by direction of itinerary. So going GSP-ATL-LGA in mixed Y/F then returning LGA-ATL-GSP all in Y, you'd have both segments Sky outbound and neither on return (assuming no status) .
However my experience is mostly on all DL itins where the only reason one segment is in Y is because it is a CR2 or because only one segment got upgraded (back in my FO days). Not sure if it's different for the situation OP describes.

Anyone have a up to date answer on this?
Have a mixed cabin booking tomorrow. LGA->DTW in Comfort Plus and then DTW->DSM in First. Booking has Sky Priority on it. Boarding passes have it only on DTW-> DSM leg.
Will I be able to check in at Sky Priority to check my bag and receive the expedited handling at LGA?

For boarding, Comfort Plus boards before Sky, so that won't be an issue.
The only benefit I could see you having trouble utilizing is Sky Priority security line, assuming you don't have PreCheck or CLEAR. Even that, you might be able to talk your way past the person monitoring the line entry. The TSA agents checking IDs and doing the screening don't care.
