I know it's because TATL is not a separate fare class but still interesting since ATL - BRU is ~65-70% longer. No F offer on either yet though ATL - BRU is the only one I'd even consider biting on since the other two are daytime.

I literally think the upgrade price - is the price of the ticket subtracted from the published discounted FC price currently on Delta.com.. give or take a few bucks.. The higher the coach ticket price, the closer the spread between published coach and discounted fc, the lower the FCM rate..

I've used it 6 or 7 times in the last 60 days.. Love it..
