When the time came I was still 2nd on the priority list. But numero uno had already boarded. So I got bumped! Then last night I got a checkin email for tonight's flight. I got bumped again!
Business class ATL to LAX for $238 all in. I am very pleased.
Congratulations but that is very unfair.
If this would have been Continental, the numero uno as you call him would have been given the upgrade even though he has already boarded. Just because he boarded early why should he not get the upgrade?
I know people at the Delta board hate to hear about us in Continental but this would have caused an uproar with the Continental Elites.
