I think the programme is strong and these enhancements positive for a cross section of the programme, specifically those at Silver/Gold status, and those who travel primarily within North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Because I live in Canada, I do not get the many extra elite miles earned by the various Delta credit card promos, so ALL my earned miles are 'bum in seat'. Therefore I can hit Gold comfortably but Plat is a stretch. Because of this, for me personally, the SWU's are therefore a non-issue.
I remember reading - but can't find it anywhere - that premium seats on international travel got you into the lounges. This included destinations to and from Canada and to and from Mexico/Carribean. As far as I could discern, this was applicable to upgraded seats.
Does anybody else remember this or was this just wishful thinking on my part? For me as a Canadian, such lounge access would be great and partly compensate for the various lounger offers that are not valid in Canada.
