Hi, is DL ever offering upgrades from coach to Delta One between JFK and SFO, please? I have not seen any mentioned in the thread.
If you mean medallion upgrades, currently no, but the policy is changing later this year.

Sad, isn't it. And C+ supposed to compete with Premium Economy on TATL. You know, enhanced meal and drink options with menus that cycle three times per month.

No it's not. PE vs. C+ on TATL is clearly distinguished on the website and is sold as a separate fare class (P/A/G), just like on TPAC routes.

I'd love to see a fare differential breakdown between DL C+ and partners' PE.

"Clearly distinguished on the website" is a quibble.

I mean paid upgrades, we are in the FCM thread. I want to know if anyone was offered a discounted upgrade to D1 on JFK-SFO and from which coach fare. Discounted would be under $300.

$95 each way LGA-DTW-LGA......yea right DL.

$89 from SLC->PHX and also $89 for the reverse. Considering buying the ticket with FC for those legs (my other 2 are on a CRJ2) was over $700 that is actually a deal. I don't get the higher fare class though correct? So not extra MQMs or SM?

Edit to add another question: do these offers typically go up in price or down? Still a month away (I rarely book more than two weeks out so this is new to me)

as long as you upfare before checking in, your ticket **should be** reissued in A inventory which will get the 50% MQM bonus

Given the lack of response, shall I assume that good deals to upgrade on JFK-SFO with cash are rare and that most people pay the fare for the class they fly unless they upgrade with miles or certificates or pay the full fare difference?

What does DL want for F on 330 ATL-LAX flight?

$346 was my offer for the 330 ATL-LAX in F.

Same price for non flat F seats on the same route for other flights

I don't think I've ever seen one. DL is perfectly willing to let seats on the TCON routes go empty, just like international J.

FWIW, the current cheapest A fares on this route are $578.30 one-way for non lie-flat and $685.80 for lie-flat's. The lie-flat D1 equipment (A330/777/763ER) on this route carry a $100 premium that is built-in to the fare (the extra $7.50 on top of that is the 7.5% US Excise Tax). So if you are paying less than $300 each way for coach, a $379 upgrade price would be less than the outright purchase price.

Being offered $106 ATL-FLL on Friday. Passing on that one.

GMTmin8 Jan 24, 2018 7:07 am
It was $346 for buy up to F on ATL-LAX on a330

Thank you I had wondered about pricing. The coach segment cost $222.

I wrote the incorrect amount in my initial answer.
