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!

Just out of curiosity, how much are these OLCI offers going for? There are multiple reports at the AF/KL forum about prices going up in the past years and for IAD-CDG they are really high. I am booked on a JFK-CDG flight in PE and would definitely take advantage of a OLCI upgrade if offered at a good price.
