Don’t let airport check-in slow you down. Enjoy dedicated check-in areas at the airport to help you move through quickly and get to your gate even faster. Sky Priority gives your bags special treatment. Our expedited baggage service ensures your bags arrive first on the carousel, to help get you on your way sooner. Speed through security with exclusive security lines at select airports. The Sky Priority expedited security lines are offered during peak times and can change locations. Be on the lookout for our Sky Priority signs to locate these lines or simply ask a Delta representative to direct you. Sky Priority customers, in Zones 1 – 4, may board through the Sky Priority lane.
