Diamond boarding pass shows sky zone
boarding in pbi this morning and my zone is listed as sky. I did not clear the upgrade list. The man in line behind me is diamond and his bp also showed sky vs premium. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

Were you traveling alone or with companions on the same itinerary? I've seen reports where Diamonds traveling with companions (of lower or no status) ticketed on the same itinerary do not get the PREM boarding zone. Whether that's a glitch or intentional, I'm not sure.

Actually I really wish it would stick. Allowing the DM on with the First/Business cabin just adds to the gate lice effect (yes, you too are Gate Lice if you start circling and posing well before boarding so you can be "first on the plane" for the prize, what the prize is I don't know as I have never bothered to play the game LOL!)
Maybe Delta should go with a new boarding scheme "Premium Cabin" "Unhappy they weren't upgraded" "Sky"

Hi everyone, we're aware of this boarding pass issue, and are working to fix it ASAP. Rest easy - the boarding zone rules haven't changed. Diamond Medallion Members still get to board in zone PREM with First Class/Delta One. If you're Diamond and your boarding pass says SKY, you still board with Premium.

Yeah they lurk and observe, occasionally post things like above.
FT is certainly a wealth of information and opinions so would be foolish not to read or skim through threads.

My boarding pass on Monday on a flight that didn't clear had SKY on it (was travelling solo) and didn't notice it until I got to the gate and I simply boarded with first and the GA didn't say a thing and thanked me for being diamond
