E170 (all y) substitutes for E175
Kinda of a bummer to sit way back when I has a "confirmed" upgrade.
But, could be worse:
- The 34" pitch is noticeably better than the standard 30-31 you get on most delta equipment in coach
- at least I didn't get a middle seat.
- well anything is better than a CR2
- Gate crew seemed to handle it okay. They were a little flustered, but It looks like we will get out okay.

34" pitch is not too rough. Especially if there's an empty seat next to you, raise the armrest and that's better than an upgrade.

There was someone next to me.
So, they handed out these free "upgrade" certificates. Came in a nice red "our apologies" sleeve, and printed on ticket stock.
It says it is valid for "A free one class upgrade between any two cities on the delta system within the U.S. Excluding Hawaii or between any city served by delta and canada/mexico/bermuda or the carribean".
So, what's this cert good for? In domestic/canada travel, will it let me confirm an upgrade using different/better rules than a regular medallion upgrade?

Does the cert have any fine print on it? My guess is that it cleared into Z/G same as SWU but maybe it requires V/X. <shrugs>

At least the 170s have reasonable pitch at 34"
Not entirely sure, but that may be one of the "golden" upgrade certs which would normally get given to an invol downgrade from a paid F pax... meaning that they are usable without the G/Z availability restriction. Probably have to call to try to use it. I'd say try using it on JFK-SFO and see if it works.

I just got the same thing for a downgrade, but there is no information on how to use it and if it requires upgrade space inventory or can be used as a positive space upgrade?

Curious if these swaps are only happening on <750 mile routes? Otherwise Delta would be violating their claim of being the only US airline to fly two-class aircraft on all flights over 750 miles.
