Just got offered Y to J for 389€ at OLCI for a JFK-CDG flight tomorrow. Didn't take it as have been on the road a month and spending all along - a great deal but oh well.

DL DM
006 ticket stock
AF10 / DL1019 (AF livery)

Offered upgrade from Y to J for 662USD.

Ticket stock was Delta Fare V.

Did not take it, hoping for op-up, or sitting in Seat Plus with nobody in front of me.

AF10 is wide open is all three cabins on 05/28. I doubt there will be any op-up. In the very unlikely event of an op-up, it would be Y to W, not J.

With these upgrades to W, J or F, are folks getting the bonus MQM's?

You only get the MQM based on your original purchase

Oh really? That's disappointing.
How about miles and MQD? Does the $ spent on upgrade count toward that?
Also, I read that the ticket is re-issued under 057 stock? Is that the whole itinerary or just the upgraded segment?

Thanks. I'd take a Y to W too.

Upgraded CDG-IAD today from W to J for $269. The reverse was $403 but did not take advantage.

Understandable to not have taken it. Hard to understand such a difference.

My wife just got an offer for $212 to W for an overnight flight tomorrow from ABJ-CDG on DL ticket stock with DL codeshare. I have the same route tonight, but DL stock with an AF flight number: no such offer. (could be the difference, in part, is I'm on the 777 and she's on the A380).
