It's important for others to be aware that upgrades don't necessarily occur five days out on all fare basis. A SkyMiles(R) Elite contact in Atlanta stated that "T" class and other discounted fares are technically supposed to be upgraded 24 hours prior to departure. Additionally, according to Vanessa Banks, gate area supervisor DCA, if there are seats to sell, Delta maintains the right to sell those up to 15 minutes before departure before upgrading premium passengers such as NW Platinums*.
