That's sadly a lot of times a problem. KLM only opens a lot of space within the 24 hour window. Too late for the Delta agents and you will end up with DoD upgrades done by KL agents at the airport (and some will not follow the rules or know how to perform the upgrade)
But in this case, if you can't waitlist, then how would they apply the GUC? DL had to reissue the ticket (otherwise I could not check in), and then they closed it (the GUC) out. So would the KLM agents know to apply a closed out GUC? So as I understand this, if KLM opens lots of space within 24 hours, I'd need to make sure to delay my check-in and hope DL doesn't reissue the ticket (and thus close out my GUC), right? What a hassle.
