The DM line should have been able to get you into F as well. You had a horrible agent there.

This is all assuming you know there was fare class availability in the cabin and not just looking at three open seats on a seat map because the seat map is not an indicator of what DL is willing to sell on the flight. If they were willing to sell seats on F then you should have been able to get one.

The best solution: HUCA.

Why wouldn't the SC agents know the rules. Some seem to want to make excuses for poor service. A few clicks on delta.com and the policy is clear and concise:

If you have a premium cabin fare, -- including Delta One™, First and Business Class -- you may make a same-day confirmed change as long as a seat is available in the premium cabin.

There is zero excuse for an agent to not know this in late 2017 other than poor training.
