I'll start out by saying I love everything I've learned through this site. I've only posted a handful of times, this will be a first in the Delta forum.

I'll try to keep things short. My Grandmother passed a couple months ago, and due to family scheduling we decided to hold the service later in the year when everyone could be together. At that time I opened a Delta Gold Amex in order to get the sign up bonus, knowing Delta was the only carrier to have a non-stop from MSP to GEG.

Anyways, I booked my flight the other day. 49,500 miles RT in C+ (only 1.4cpm at time of booking, but from what I saw that's decent for this route). The app is offering me F for $150 each way. It doesn't exactly whet my pallet at that price, even when I'm only considering the return portion, not the outbound. Both flights are on an MD90.

I've already chosen 10E on both flights. I've actually sat here before, and being 5'10/160 I have more than enough room to get comfortable. I know I'll be perfectly happy in C+, That being said, my back isn't in terribly great shape and the extra width of the F seat could be beneficial for my overall comfort on a 3hr flight. Therein lies the question: do the prices to upgrade to F change much on a route like this at ~80 days out? Flight dates are 6/1 and 6/4. Both flights show a wide open F seat map (per website, no EF membership for this infrequent traveler). I'm not at all interested at $150, but could be persuaded at say... $80. After all the flight only cost me $11.20 in fees. What are my chances of seeing a price drop, and is there any "good" time to look? I don't mind checking the Delta app daily but I'd love to have an idea if it's even worth it, or just be happy with the free drinks in C+ and my bulkhead seat.
