Yes. I fully trust it's accurate...but can imagine it can cause problems in (especially US) outstations.
Unsurprisingly, club2000 and petroleum club were also on the depicted sign.

Idea for Skyteam (If they take the effort to read our ramblings): please print the sky priority logo on our baggage labels, e-tickets, boarding cards and especially on our frequent flyer cards.

Recent update: FB Silver members to continue to access priority security
 
I have been told by KLM that though priority security is not a FB Silver benefit these members will continue to be allowed access at AMS when SkyPriority is introduced.

This may of course be different at outstations.

If that is the case, it is a bit of a farce, isn't it?....skyteam-wide? :roll eyes:

The pic in the AF magazine showed a sign with was obviously taken at CDG 2E.

Was this really true? I always that it was one of the benefits...

I just saw on skyteam.com dat priority baggage isn't any longer a Skyteam Elite Benefit...or was this already the case? I don't have much reference since I'm not Silver for long and on my last DL flights I flew C. So I was entitled to the benefits anyway

It never was announced that FB Silver would benefit from the SkyPriority benefits however certain benefit remain for these members.
In my opinion Skyteam Elite gets you more than Star Alliance Silver.

Priority luggage is/was a Skyteam Elite Plus benefit but FB Silver members are given it when flying on AF/KL as well (and maybe also when AF/KL do check-in for another Skyteam partners flight).

FB Silvers only get/got priority baggage and security on AFKL flights and at AMS respectively.
Security was never a worldwide benefit. Heck, even Elite+ didn't always get priority security at outstations.

Don't know the page number, but it was towards the end near the section where they list the aircraft types.

Launch date for AMS on the 25th of March?
 

Hi,

Finally...my first post. (so please forgive me if it ended up in the wrong thread...)

I've heard yesterday (from a friend) that the launch date for SkyPriority at Schiphol is planned on the 25th of March.
Is this true? Can anyone confirm this?

Good news travels fast
SkyPriority will be introduced at SkyTeam airports worldwide starting in March 2012 and continue through 2013. Amsterdam, Atlanta, Guangzhou, Nairobi, Prague, Shanghai and Taipei will be some of the first airports to roll-out SkyPriority.
