It will be nice however to see the slightly increased ammenities next month.
As I explained before, DL has more planes than C-gates overnight, many of the RON's park at the D gates and then depart from D on the morning originating flights. Otherwise the planes would have to be towed twice.

AA and UA also park planes on the high D gates at night sometimes.
