This is an award ticket, and I am currently #1 of 12 with 3 seats in First available. I assume that all DM's, PM's and Golds on paid tickets have cleared already and that anyone behind me are Silver's and Companion tickets? Or, since I am flying on an award ticket do I fall behind paid Silvers?
Since this is only an hour long flight, I am not going to be too terribly devastated if I don't get the upgrade

but would love to know how it works on award tickets as I have 5 more booked on Delta this year. Somehow, I seem to have LOTS of delta miles to burn thru.....

Upgrades are eligible to clear at the corresponding Medallion Upgrade window after all revenue tickets within the tier have cleared. Eligible area of travel is the same as the Medallion Complimentary Upgrades for revenue tickets. Go to Unlimited Complimentary Medallion Upgrades for more details.
