Upgrades on DL 16/17 ATL-LAX-ATL questions come up 3-4 times a week in this forum.
Its one of the hardest upgrade out there. Have not been advanced upgraded in 4 months on this flight; as a result I either use my certs or just pay full fare (and I suspect I am not the only one).
No, the domestic portions of DL 16/17 will not be switching back to a 767 anymore . This was covered in another thread. Only for a few days in May and June will this occur (and on those days the 777-200LR will operate a day turn, leaving on the 10am flight out of ATL and returning on the 1200 noon flight out of LAX). This plane will be coming in from DXB on those days.
