DLHQ: Plat unlimited upgrades on YBM fares return in 2004
Here's the latest, from a telephone conversation with a well-placed representative at Delta HQ in Atlanta last week: DL plans to restore unlimited, time-of-booking upgrades for Platinums on Y/B/M fares in 2004. The other fares will continue to be upgradeable using the revised upgrade rules announced earlier this year.
I doubt that this will be enough to get me to return, given the decreasing number of first-class seats to upgrade into, but I thought I would pass this along. I did a search but didn't see these specifics posted on the other threads dealing with the SkyMiles changes.
