COAST TO COAST COMFORT
For Diamond and Platinum members we are introducing greater flexibility with your Medallion Choice Benefits. Effective July 21, 2015 you can use Regional Upgrade Certificates in addition to Global Upgrade Certificates for a Delta One™ seat on eligible transcontinental flights between New York - JFK and Los Angeles - LAX or San Francisco - SFO. Regional Certificates are part of the wide array of Choice Benefits Diamond and Platinum Medallion members are able to select upon status qualification.
This just devalued the DM free elite upgrades on these flights. It's implicity an transfer of benefits from DMs to PMs, which is very unusual.
