I'm seeing posts from PM's who get the service, so there seems to be something other than just your medallion rank that matters. Anyone have more insight into what seems to trigger DL to think one is in need of a Porsche lift?
I'll bite:
- I'm only 0.4 MM.
- Definitely not in Delta 360 territory ($20K spend of my company's money last year, so it cleared their MQD hurdle).
- No Delta credit card in my wallet.
- Not aware of any Delta shares in my portfolio.
- 45-50 minute connection which became 25-30 minutes due to weather.
- Paid vaguely $1000 for my ticket with taxes (I can't tell or recall the booking class, but it was below Y). That's not a particularly costly ticket, but probably on the high side for a coach ELP-ATL seat.
- Only two others boarded with me in the Premium Cabin on a Friday morning, if that matters...the rest were possibly gate upgrades.
Probably just a Medallion-limited day at Hartsfield-Jackson.
