I never fly Delta TATL because of the lack of a true PE class of service (don't mind flying PE if no J avail but really don't want to fly regular Coach). Unfortunately, I find myself flying Delta TATL in June as they have the only non-stop JFK-PRG. I booked I (business) for the JFK-PRG leg and Q (coach) for the return.

Looking for advice if I should accept a Delta OLCI FCM offer or would the DoD airport buy-up be less expensive?

Thanks!
Even if DL were to offer this (and I've never seen it ex-Europe, but then again I'm usually already in J so not sure I would know), I wouldn't trust a contract agent at an outstation to do it right. If you have an OLCI offer (or earlier) I would just go for it.
