And does anyone have an idea on the cash co-payment? Delta can't give me a number until the flight is ticketed...
GUC are higher. Also mileage upgrade waitlists don't go to the gate. If not upgraded by cutoff, then not upgrading with miles.

There is no copay. You may be thinking of DoD ex-AMS upgrades. Those are miles + copay.
