I have a problem...
I am Executive Platinum with AA so I never have a problem with seating. However, a group of friends and I have booked a trip to Mexico that leaves this Saturday. I just received my flight info and I see that my wife and I have been separated on the flight from ATL to PVR. I called Delta and there is nothing that I can do.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can change my seats so that we are together??
Thank you all for any advice.

Delta holds back some seats for assignment at the airport. Try to check from now until then to see if two seats open up. If not, get to the airport a little early and there should be seats available. If not, ask someone to switch with you (as happens many, many times a day).

A quick way to see the Delta seat map is this web site:
http://www.benedelman.org/travel/dlseats/
Assuming you are on DL 397, there are 4 mediallian exit row seats available (I think you can select these at some point near depature ... maybe others can help).
I would check this web site on Friday and especially Saturday morning. I bet some seats open up with mis connections and/or cancelled flights.
There are a bunch of rows reserved for airport control. One strategy is to change your seat assignments to unassigned. The people working the flight go to this list first (once you have checked in) to take people off this list into these seats (works better if you are both in one record). They often do this before showing up at the gate (this is why they are often "gone" when people first talk with the agent). The downside of this strategy is if the flight ends up being oversold (without enough volunteers) you could be bumped. I have done this several times with my kids and we end up together. Right now there are a lot of F seats available and they are still selling 6 in Y. So, I doubt this will be a involuntary DBC siutation
Good luck!
