That’s kind of surprising but also… not totally.
On Emirates, Gold usually gets priority boarding even in economy, so I’d probably assume the same if I was flying Flydubai under Skywards. But Flydubai is technically a separate airline, even if they’re closely linked.
I’ve heard before that some Skywards perks don’t fully carry over, especially on the ground experience side. Lounge access and baggage tend to align more clearly, but boarding can be different.
Still feels inconsistent when it’s the same loyalty program. If Platinum gets it but Gold doesn’t, that’s a pretty noticeable gap.
