I was offered Gold Medallion couple of months back. I also have a Delta AMEX Reserve Card.
On Friday, I will be flying first time with the status. I booked a DL ticketed & (DL(330-300) for first leg + KLM(787-9) second leg) operated transatlantic flight with H class fare.
I am able to select complimentary upgrade for C+ and it say "Delta OneŽ Not Upgrade Eligible". Does this mean I will not be upgraded to Delta One at all if there are seats available when I am next in upgrade queue ?
Current numbers in upgrade list & standby list in Delta app : Upgrade List : Delta One 5, C+ : 2 and standby : 35.
How about KLM ?
Do I have any chance to be upgraded to World business being Elite+ ?
EDIT: I am already in Economy Comfort if that matters.
Welcome to FT! Unfortunately, complimentary UGs to D1 do not extend to intercontinental flights on KL or DL (or most airlines as far as I know), even if you have elite status. Occasionally, when the flight is oversold in Y, pax are UG based on status. Even those moments are rare.
If you wish to UG to J, your only options are (1) buy up to J, (2) redeem miles for award upgrade, or (3) hope for an operational upgrade due to an oversold situation.
Hope this helps!
