Besides the increased chance of domestic UG being Plat, there is generally no advantage for intl flts because DL does not offer complimentary upgrades. However, if you usually fly an M+ fare for intl, then you could choose 4 SWU's as your Choice Benefit and get 2 r/t upgrades, subject to availability.

Also, PM gives you the advantage of intl lounge access in many cities. For more benefits of PM over GM, see here.....
