It used to be we had one year after we chose our choice benefits to use our “Globals” and we could use them on partner airlines like AirFrance and KLM. Several DL employees have informed me the partner airline Globals are non - existent. So why advertise the Globals as a benefit on partner airlines when there are zero available? Trying to find a global to use on DL flights is getting ridiculous too. I guess DL expects to be overly flexible with our international trips and revamp our vacations and still get most flights showing no availability. It doesn’t matter if it’s last minute or way in advance. There is always an excuse why they aren’t available. If you book in advance, they haven’t been released yet? If you book a month in advance the excuse is didn’t give enough notice. We also have to book premium select. Tour agencies are selling business class ( delta one) for the price we pay for premium select, make the most valuable incentive to keep DM worthless. With the travel agencies we can travel when we want to, instead of changing our dates to try to get the global to clear. DL only give us four upgrades each year which equals one round trip flight for a couple or two round trip tickets for one. It’s not like DL is giving us unlimited upgrades. If Globals are advertised as a benefit then we shouldn’t have so much difficulty trying to use them.
