If you make Silver by the time of your flight, you might get an upgrade. Otherwise, no.

Thank you alanh for your sensitivity. I suggest that anyone critical of another's use of English take a look at the OP's "profile". Often, it will shed a great deal of light. @:-)

N830MH, if you are already Silver you need to request upgrades for each of your segments. This is done by logging into DL.com with your Skymiles number and then selecting Request Upgrades from the Itinerary page. If you are not currently Silver, once you make it, call Delta and have them re-enter your Skymiles number so your reservation shows your new status. At the same time, they can add your upgrade requests.
Once that's done, it just a waiting game. If seats are available, you will clear 1 day prior to your flight. If seats are not available, you will have to play the "gate lottery" which means upgrades are handled at the departure gate.

That was very helpful at Delta and this mean I doesnt have silver yet for this time. But, I will able flying more on DL. I will talk with Delta Employees at PHX or called Delta reservations about upgrade me into the First Class. How much does cost for upgrade me into the first class?

This came recently with the latest round of "enhancements." From Delta:
"Central & South America
We are pleased to announce that beginning January 1, 2006 you'll be eligible for complimentary upgrades to Central and South America.
Your complimentary upgrades will be good for travel to cities like Bogota, Caracas, Lima, Panama City, San Jose, and more."

Thanks!! I will come back on Airliners.Net very soon and I am doing much better to learn more communication skills. So I must to talk with Henrik or Johan that I will come back posting on A.net. You will need to talk with Henrik or Johan about me that I can come back posting on the a.net tonight. Thanks! :)
No Medallion status = No free upgrade.
You can upgrade YBM fares for 25,000 miles.
Day of Departure upgrades are sometimes available for purchase per segment if all Medallions have cleared. Price varies with segment length.
Or you could always pay to purchase an A fare. That's the only way to be sure of an upgrade.
