As has been observed many times in this thread, mileage upgrades on these routes do not clear since there is almost never advance inventory and mileage upgrades do not clear at the gate.

To those expecting the ~$250 gate upgrades... DL never sells these on the international routes, why would they do so on these routes (after 3/1)? Gotta protect that premium product integrity.
