I have to be honest though...upgrades as a Silver or Gold to F are pretty tough to come by. Comfort+ has a chance, but Delta does a really good job of upselling F now and making it hard to get with lower status.
You might be right that SXM is leisure, but I think most people going there are on vacation and willing to spend a little extra. Have you watched what not too distant seat maps look like?
Seems your right, I searched the outbund flight on Experflyer for the same day of the week we are heading out, for all of May, all FC seats seems to be booked already.
Guess I will check EF regulary and if there are "a lot" of seats empty a week before departure I will call Delta and ask about splitting.
If not I am happy with saving around $200 in baggage fees.
Thanks for your help
