For all the loyal Delta Airlines customers and frequent travelers out there, it’s time to say goodbye to the boarding process you’ve likely gotten pretty familiar with.
The airline is updating the boarding process for flyers, getting rid of the boarding categories like “Diamond Medallions,” “Delta Premium Select” and “Sky Priority.” Instead, the categories will go by zones, but the order of priority will remain the same, with the cheapest tickets boarding last.

Beginning in May 2024, Delta will introduce eight zones, starting with “pre-boarding” and “first-class” as zone one. The “main cabin” groups are zones five to seven, with “basic economy” as zone eight.
According to a Delta article, updated on April 9, the change intends to limit confusion. “Starting May 1, Delta will introduce numbered boarding zones for all flights to provide customers with more clarity about boarding sequence. Delta will still offer pre-board opportunities for customers who need extra time or assistance, followed by active-duty military, then Delta 360 Members.”
