Question when does DL go back and offer FCM for trips booked way out? It is a B fare so FCM was not that much more than the cost of the trip.
I generally never book work trips this far out.
Thanks
FCM is offered arbitrarily. I've looked at a flight, had it not be offered, looked at the seat map (but didn't change my seat), and had it offered when .bomb returned to the flight screen.
If you're already paying B, there's a good chance they'll waive the change fee if you upgrade to F.

B gets +50% MQMs.
