Main Cabin Award Ticket
Platinum Medalion
Dec. 20 SEA-->DTW-->MSN
Dec. 25 MSN-->DTW--->SEA
All four segments upgraded to Comfort Plus within hours of ticketing.
Called to request RUC on SEA-->DTW about 6 weeks before flight.
SEA-->.DTW: RUC Cleared at the gate (got the last F seat)
DTW-->MSN: Complimentary upgrade cleared a few hours before departure (saw it on the FlyDelta App after taking my seat when boarding the SEA-DTW flight)
MSN-->DTW: Complimentary upgrade cleared a few days before flight
DTW-->SEA: Called to request RUC about 3 days before flight. Failed to clear; was #1 on list from check-in until boarding.
By the way, I have always though there should be some "consolation prize" for the passenger who misses the upgrade to F by one position. Even if it is something silly. Maybe a warm cookie or something. I hate it when that happens as it did on DTW-SEA. But I also rather like it when I snag the last spot (as I did on SEA-DTW).
