We are a family of 4 which will fly JFK-SXM-JFK in July, we are booked in T and V.

I am a Star Alliance Gold, and just got matched/challenged to Delta Gold, mainly to benefit from the baggage waiver.

I also noticed the complimentary upgrade perks and have some questions:

* What are the chances of upgrade to FC for a Gold member, i believe this route we are flying might not have many business/frequent travellers. As of now 1/20 FC is booked.


* If a upgrade goes through would it just be myself getting upgraded, 1 companion or the whole family on the same booking? (Just me would not be popular/ not an option )

*my spouse is star alliance silver, might try to match her to delta silver, is it likely for a silver to get an FC upgrade?
You would need to book two reservations for this. Only two people can get upgraded together using your status so long as your spouse signs up for a skymiles account and has it attached to her profile/reservation with you.

If you book all four people together then the upgradability goes away.
