As the Fan and Web fares that DL issues weekly are never upgradeable, would you purchase them if they were offered at a higher price and were upgradeable? How about the option of a "use 800 segment" check box which will still result in much lower prices than normal, but higher than the the Fan & Web specials that are all LUsers.
I for one would consider purchasing more of these specials if I were allowed to use MSU's. I wouldn't mind paying more than the heavily discounted LUsers as long as the upgradeables were also offered at a discount.
AA starts their Net SAAver Weekend Getaways after 7 PM Friday night, instead of Saturday morning which is DL's policy, and they have a Tuesday return. In addition, they give you more time to make your plans as they are for the following weekend. Would you consider more of these specials if there was a Friday evening departure and also the extra lead time for planning? I for one would like that headstart for a quick weekend trip as opposed to losing 1/2 the day traveling on Saturday morning.
How about some more international web specials like AA & CO offer. You rarely see any from DL. They should also be offered for B/E on the routes that DL knows have empty front cabins for that weekend. Fill up those seats and not have us wait for a once or twice a year B/E sale. These international specials should start on Thursdays and end on Tuesdays and offered for the following weekend like AA's.
