Does DL do any complimentary upgrades, either to C+ or beyond (depending on config) if you buy a Y/B fare?
Thanks!
Y/B fares do not qualify for comp upgrades on their own on Delta (they ended that program a number of years ago). If you have DL Platinum status or higher, you can get comp upgrades to C+ at time of booking on any fare (except Basic Economy). Gold and Silver upgrade windows to C+ are the same as First Class upgrades (3-day and 1-day, respectively). However, Exit row seats on most Delta aircraft are not part of C+ cabin (they are only Preferred seats) and can be selected at time of booking by Gold and Silver Medallions. They have similar or more legroom than C+ (C+ seats are identical to Main Cabin seats), but they don't get comp alcohol.
