Perhaps the OP is on a full Y fare?

No, discount coach fare. That's why I'm so mystified by this...

Whatever you do.. don't get bumped to FC... otherwise you'll have someone yelling and screaming "shenanigans" :)

any of the prefered seating will give you breezeway status even is the fare is at a discount:)

Not my experience when I get my companions on preferred seats.

3. Have your husband board with you. Simply tell the gate agent, he is your husband if they ask (and is carrying your luggage).

Or you hand both boarding passes to the GA. Carry your own damn luggage and spare the GA your life story.

2) Would my AmEx Plat be the reason for the priority boarding?

Is it the DL Platinum Amex? If so the MQM boosts from it can get you 80% of the way to FO. Perhaps you made Silver and never realized it?

If the boarding pass said "Breezeway" then it would say "Silver Elite".

Recently had a friend discover FO status due mostly to the DL Plat AMEX. Had no idea what elite status was. After a quick intro by me, I directed my friend here. :D

Nope, just again checked my status "Skymiles Member"

No, Boarding pass says "Breezeway" and "Zone 2" but does not say Silver Elite.

My husband has the same ticket as I do (different record), he is sitting next to me on the flight and his does not say "Breezeway" and his indicates "Zone 4". It's just weird!

Sorry. I wasn't clear. I caught that your BP did not say Silver Elite. I was responding to the speculation that you became Silver without knowing it. Had you missed this milestone your BP would have alerted you to the change in status.

It does sound very strange but just run with it. :D Ask too many questions and you might both be boarding with the rest of the cattle. ( :eek: Did I write that out loud?!)

I was Zone 2 on my flight on Monday and am Zone 2 for my flight tonight. Not Silver status yet. I do have the Delta Reserve card.

US offers preferred boarding to those who hold their credit card. Maybe this is a perk of the reserve card of which we were unaware. Just a theory.
