I know that RU inventory is released at different times. I did not think it applied to Y class fares.
I just booked a trip with my return segments being on Y class. Segment 2 upgraded but 1 did not. I called and they said there is no availability (but 6 seats available in first).
The wording on this page:
https://www.delta.com/content/www/en...-upgrades.html suggests under Priority 1, all Y class get upgraded at time of ticketing. Priority 2 and 3 are what we all know as UG priority yet do not even include Y in the fare class list.
It is not clearly stated about Y class but it was explained to me that all 'Unlimited Complimentary Upgrades' are based on the T&C below on that page that limit the UGs to 'Availability' of the 'R' fare and inventory.
I know I have zero leg to stand on. Do I?
The title of your linked page is: "
Unlimited Complimentary Medallion® Upgrades"
On that page: "
Complimentary Upgrade Terms & Conditions
Availability:
Medallion Complimentary Upgrades are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights"
The Y fare upgrade is a complimentary medallion upgrade, and is not an instant upgrade such as CO used to offer.
The court finds in favour of the fine print. Summary judgement in favour of defendant (Delta).
