I needed to get up a lot. Does first class have that much more room? Should i wait till I get to the airport and try to get upgraded, even though our tickets are non upgradeable?

You can look at Seatguru for seat configurations and space.

How do u expect to get upgraded on a NON upgradeable fare?
Are u a DL Platnium and hoping for a cabin roll (Coach over sold)?
No need to be harsh on the newbie.

3. If you cannot afford it, I am not sure what the decision is.
4. If you can afford it, it probably would be worth it if you enjoy all the perks that come with Business Elite over coach. If comfort is your primary concern, then that is the perk you would be most interested in.
This is the correct response, thank you DLATL777.

"BusinessElite" (referred on here as BE) is the premium cabin.

The differential factor from Coach and BE is what aircraft your flying on. That would be helpful to know if it's worth it.
