...and, to be entirely honest, I didn't even know that DL was offering First on such short route, hence my surprise when my name and a couple of others were called at the gate. Getting upgraded on the SAN-SEA flight was slightly more useful, though.

Success

Just to update the status of my flight AUS-LAX- it was a success

Flight was actually not full (a very rare occurance these days in the US) - lots of seat open in Economy and Comfort+. I was actually 1/1 on the upgrade list (unbelievable no Medallion members on the flight!).

Cleared at the gate and indeed even though I could not request for the upgrade on the DL website - it did automatically put me on the list.

So indeed - in such perfect conditions - FB Elite members are upgraded.

Cheers!

Wow, definitely among the better value upgrades I have heard of this year - well done! ^

I got lucky mid-October on SEA-SFO as FB Gold. 7 empty seats in First, I was 6th on the list.
