So 'we' do get Skypriority for those benefits? That would mean that Silvers are not in a separate boardinggroup?

We won't know until it's implemented if Silvers will be invited to board with the SkyPriority group (though I expect so), or after SkyPriority but before general boarding.

Shouldn't be this topic in the general Flying Blue Forum?

And is Air France in CDG also using the term "SkyPriority"? :confused: I thought that there is a rule in France that they have to use french words? And it's also a bit funny, that they use a english term (SkyPriority) and english isn't the language even in the country of Air France or KLM.

They are going to use that in ALL Skyteam airports so that all E+ know where they have to go. It really is to make a single, uniform, worldwide service (that ought to be consistent) for C/F/E+.
SkyPriority comes from Delta who began offering a single priority service at all their airports for their premium pax.

Seeing as it's a lot harder to get FB Silver than DL Silver, they should keep the benefits for them.

I really enjoyed having KL/AF treat me like a FB SL when I was a DL Silver for the first couple of weeks this year - a lot better than that SkyPriority garbage in the US where they really show no appreciation for your business....

That's debatable. You can qualify for FB Silver with only 15 segments - very easy.

LOL - I'm already DL Gold with under 15 segments - 1 Asia trip and a few trans-Atlantics on AF/KL/DL. I guess it's easy if you're based in AMS/CDG.....

Wow, completely looks like they copied the Swiss logo in that video

Actually, I think KLM has come up with the coloured rectangles.

I don't find it easy at all :) I don't fly for my work (at least not a lot), so for me it was quite a challange to become Silver. Thats why I was really interested in finding out if it will be downgraded now :)

Well, good thing Swiss aren't using that logo anymore!

(That said, white text in a red box is hardly a "logo")

I guess they're not completely the same, but that's the first thing I thought when I saw that video....

As I mentioned before, since us Delta Silvers didn't see any downgrade, at all, and still receive the same benefits, I don't think the rest of the skyteam low tier elites will see a downgrade.

If you don't fly O/D, 1 RT is at least 4 segments. 5 RTs and you're Silver. It gets better if you fly EU-NOAM (or the other way around) because you can transit a hub in EU and one in the US. 2 such RTs nets you 12 segments, which puts you very close.

Air France magazine is curently advertising Sky Priority. The Sky Priority sign in the showcase clearly says: Flying Blue Silver/Gold/Platinum.

End of speculation : )
