Adding to my confusion, an email from EF says: "We only show DL economy low level award availability (N class) not Business or First inventory." Yet I see R and O in the results of their searches.
If anyone can shed light on any of this, it would be greatly appreciated.
EF "R" = DL RP = Upgrade to First using SWU/GUC/RUC/miles
EF "O" = DL OP = Upgrade to Business using SWU/GUC/RUC/miles
EF "N" = DL N = Low/Saver Economy Award
Delta's R, RD, RK, O, OD, OK, ND, NT, NM, NG, NP, and NT fare classes are not accessible by EF.
