Final Upgrade Tally and other SkyMiles Benefits
So as the year winds down... i'm very happy to say that with only six flights left, i will have missed only 1 upgrade out of 82 flights. (and there were about 5 flights with no Biz)
Now some of those flights were international (approximately 1/3)... and for the domestic... i would say less than 5% were Y fare.
And the only flight i did not get upgraded on was the BOS:LGA Monday 6:30 AM Shuttle, which i didn't bother checking in online...
Lots of my domestics were BOS:CVG; BOS:NYC; BOS:LAS and BOS:MSP:COS... and with some connections to Europe and LA via ATL; so there were a bunch of BOS:ATL.
I've successfully cashed in all 10 of my eVIPs and have booked free Biz tickets to Europe and Caribbean...
The Delta VIP desk has been fantastic for every call, except one... and the Sky Club team has been lovely.
All in all, for all of our gripes with SkyMiles... i can't complain too much
