I realize that the exit rows have quite a bit more seat pitch. Do the first few rows of Delta economy seats have additional seat pitch? Or, are they preferred seats just for the speed in deplaning? In other words, are the first few rows like United's Economy Plus?

I've been SM now for a couple years after being first granted via a SkyBonus "gift" (1100 points I think it was) from my employer. From ATL I am upgraded to FC about 50% of the time & travel primarily East of the Mississippi with emphasis on Florida (MCO, PBI, TPA and FLL).
Premium seating when not upgraded, as I prefer to be as close to the front as possible, and the 25% bonus is nice too. This year I will easily be GM so am planning my first MRs in hopes of achieving PM.
I usually use the kiosk or OCI but have occasionally used the Elite / First Class counter to bypass loooong ATL lines when needed - even if just to get to a lonely kiosk.

Yes, there is a different phone number, it will be on the back of the card that will be mailed to you. In the meantime, you can call the general Delta reseverations number and ask to be transferred

While trying to price flights for JFK-LAX on Nov. 8 and return on Nov. 11, the website was giving me a price of $298 AI. As soon as I logged in to my account and did the same search the lowest available price dropped to $287. Clearly not a huge difference but interesting nonetheless...

I am going to make FO for the first time on Nov. 20 when my cc bill closes and I will pass the spending threshold. How long can I expect to receive the new card? Can I use the status to my advantage for my trip to Israel on Dec. 2? And does FO allow for free changes to an award ticket?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
