Do elites frequently get upgraded on MHT EWR routes? (Do upgrades exist?)
Would others make the switch from Delta to *A from MHT travel? I love DTW and am a bit worried about having to go through EWR.
Nothing compares to DTW as far as ease of connection is concerned.
Nothing compares to the DL international upgrade policy either. But CO/UA may be just as bad as far as you are concerned.
Your should switch if you believe that post merger UA/CO will not make significant changes to their international upgrade policy and:
- You fly more than 100K miles/year (Will give you SWU certificates applicable to most fares).
- Or you are willing to pay $500 (+miles) more than a reasonable fare each way for a guaranteed upgrade (ON DL you have to purchase M+ and hope for an upgrade, on CO you have to pay the service fee, but it is refunded if you are not upgraded).
Happy travels
