Even with Delta employees at the airport, sometimes the phone agents can do better. On November 2013 when I was in SEA, returning to LAX the day they had the shooting at LAX, I wanted to be routed SEA-JFK-LAX instead of SEA-LAX and sitting at SEA for another 6 hours. At the Skyclub they could/would not do it. On the phone they did it. I got upgraded to BE, and got the double MQM and RDM bonus.
Wow. That's a lot more miles. (Almost 4,000 extra BIS miles, before bonuses.) And your routing got in later than you would have, too.
