Especially on a route like this were they don't really sell the D1 cabin on a D1 fare and thus no option to upgrade via an upfare.
I posted in this thread because of my thoughts and questions on the cash upgrade to overcome the absence of an available fare.
Thank you for your insight and additional info - I really appreciate that.

OT: Delta just changed the schedule... DL670 and DL 2112 swapped equipment and are rescheduled to a later departure - so my connection in JFK is not viable anymore...
Which makes me sooooo happy (not).
Because now it requires a short night in JFK (not really great) or changing to another routing (through ATL) - but I am not a fan of Redeyes in FC... Yeah, a bit snobish - but I am long a fan of the North American F concept on longer flights (applies to all carriers...)
All seems to go well...
