DM on award ticket
DCA-RDU 2/15 C+ at booking, FC 5 days out - flight had 3 empty FC just before departure and no one on UG list. From the conversation I overheard, I think the family of 3 who got the 3 FC seats were no status. Plane went out completely full.
RDU-DCA 2/22 C+ at booking, DC 5 days out.
So for me, with limited flying, 100% this year.
Sort of related - I was flying back from CJU in Korea on an award ticket in business class on MU. CJU-PVG flight was cancelled (corona virus probably) and DL rebooked me CJU-GMP/ICN-US. ICN-US was rebooked on DL in D1 and FC. CJU-GMP was on JinAir which has no FC. Just before boarding I was paged and moved to a premium seat - bulkhead with lots of legroom; don't know if JinAir can see DL status since the code share or maybe DL was booking me into one of the premium fare codes.
Jin Air codeshares with KAL and has an interline agreement with DL.
