DL: NYC>SCL Biz $1700 RT

Was just helping a friend book an economy ticket at $399 and saw the Opportunity to Upgrade for $1200. Decided to investigate and saw that outright PAID business class with a stop in ATL (then direct ATL>SCL) was going for $1714 AI RT. Pretty great fare that at the moment doesn't seem to be matched. If only AA would get in the game.

Dates: Seeing Now - February with emphasis on the new year.

Didn't pull fare rules but I'm sure an evangelist will be happy to help.

Hope this helps someone.

Enjoy.

This certainly could be useful to some, but I don't think this is an op-up, as those are usually free ^

I've seen OPportunity Upgrades take on quite a few definitions, many paid. In Delta it actually usually books into OP class. I just mentioned it to note how I found that the actual business sale (I/Z) was occurring outright. Cheers.

apologies for insulting the delicate senses. I was referring to an opportunity upgrade.

I've never heard that term, especially on DL.
