All fares are eligible except Basic Economy fares (booking class E), which are not eligible for free or paid Delta Comfort+®, regardless of Flying Blue status.
I don't know what that means in reality though.
- Can you select Comfort+ seats for free at the moment of OLCI?
- Are you merely being put on the upgrade list (and then probably bumped down that list as all kind of DL frequent flyers are above you in the pecking order)?
Given that they mention a 25% / 50% reduction on the price to be paid for Silver and Golds, I presume it's not the airport upgrade list, but something you can do at the moment of OLCI. Although that would contradict the notion of "at the moment of departure".
Even in English they manage not to be clear.
