I bought tix on cheap tickets.com from KUL-CDG-PIT. KUL-CDG is on Malaysian. CDG-PIT is on Delta, I am a Delta Silver, and also hold an AMEX platinum Delta card. Do I get an automatic upgrade on the CDG-PIT flight or do I have to sweet talk the GA? I know Malaysian is probably out as I only get miles on Delta with them, they do not honour status on Delta. I then have PIT-MSP and on my reservation and it shows upgrade requested so I am fine there, but it is domestic. I then fly MSP-AMS on Delta and AMS-KUL on KLM. Am I eligible for an upgrade on either of those flights?
The reason I ask is that I was able to call Delta from Burma where I live, itself a miracle, and was told that automatic upgrades are only for domestic flights. I should also note that all of these flights are on the same ticket.
