  1. Delta Air Lines Boarding Process: A Walk- Through

  2. The American legacy carrier, Delta Air Lines, has a new boarding process with more boarding categories than before. To find out, follow this guide as it takes on a walk- through of the Delta Air Lines new boarding process. 2

  3. Delta Air Lines’ Previous Boarding Sequence First to the board are pre-boarding passengers. Following them are Delta One passengers. Next in line are First Class, Delta Premium Select passengers, and Diamond Medallion members, respectively. 3

  4. Delta Air Lines New Boarding Sequence Now, if you compare the old Delta boarding process to the newer, you find more boarding categories and stages. 4

  5. Here is how the new boarding order looks like: S.No Boarding Description This includes passengers that require assistance or additional time to board. It also includes active U.S. military personnel with valid ID. 1 Pre-boarding Next comes, Delta One members and Diamond Medallion Members. In case the aircraft lacks this cabin, then Diamond Medallion Members are moved to the next zone. 2 Delta One: Passengers in the First Class, Delta Premium Select Members, and Diamond Medallion Members (conditional). Further, customers traveling with strollers and car seats, or others with early boarding also belong to this zone. Also, Diamond Medallion members are the first to board if the regional jet lack First Class cabin. First Class and Delta Premium Select 3 This includes Platinum Medallion, Virgin Australia Platinum and Gold, GOL Smiles Diamond, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Gold, Flying Blue Platinum and Gold, Gold Medallion, and SkyTeam®Elite Plus members. 4 Sky Priority 5

  6. From here onwards, the boarding process follows cabins rather than fare types S,No Boarding Description It comprises of Gold, Platinum, and Reserve Delta SkyMiles Credit Cardmembers, GOL Smiles Gold members, Silver Medallion members, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Silver members Virgin Australia Velocity Silver members, Priority Boarding Trip Extra customers and Delta Corporate travelers. 5 Delta Main Cabin 1 6 Delta Main Cabin 2 All main cabin passengers 7 Main Cabin 3 This boarding stage consists of all the passengers reserved in the T, X, and V fares 8 Basic Economy: And concluding the boarding order is the Delta Airlines Basic Economy 6

  7. Quick Comparison between Both The number of boarding categories is 8. Pre-boarding passengers don’t have to follow the color code. They will board the first. The order of boarding for cabins, i.e., Delta Main Cabins 1-3 and Basic Economy, remains unchanged. The same goes for the pre-boarding. Delta Comfort Plus pushes Sky Priority a step behind in the order. The former Premium boarding zone has been split into two. The first boarding zone being Delta One on aircraft with Delta One cabin. The other zone being Delta Premium Select or First Class. 7 7

  8. Delta Air Lines Color System You will notice digital screens instead of the static board screens. They guide each fare type through the colors assigned to their Delta flight tickets. , Atlanta, the major USA hub for Delta, is home to the busiest airport in the world. There are a huge number of passengers that move through the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) 7 8

  9. Advantages of Delta’s Color Coded Boarding Process/ Boarding by Branded Fare Replacing the number coding system with color is effective because humans are visual beings. Hence, colors guide passengers through boarding better than the complex numbered zones and gates. It checks the crowding problems and leads to better traffic movement. Upon the suggestion of Delta’s gate agents, Delta Comfort Plus was added to curb gate crowding. Delta’s online shopping experience, boarding passes, Fly Delta App, jetway screens, and boarding signage will feature the New boarding order name. Thereby improving communication. 7 9

  10. Delta Allows Purchase of Priority Boarding You must use the App : You can purchase priority boarding by making your flight ticket booking through the Fly Delta App. It’s a Good Value Deal: To purchase $15 priority boarding makes sense as you get onto the plane at the same time as the lower-level elite members. You will be boarding before the rest of the Delta main cabins. There’s a Passenger Limit: To avail priority boarding, the primary cardholder must not have more than nine passengers on the reservation. The Fare is Non-Refundable and Non-Transferable: If you purchase priority booking, your ticket will be non-refundable and non-transferable. That means the delta 24-hour cancellation policy doesn’t apply. 7 10

  11. So, next time you book Delta Airlines flight tickets, pay attention to the boarding process. Thank You!
