Missing Z Class Using FlightStats
Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I have tried a TPAC mileage upgrade on DL. I am planning to purchase an M class fare and upgrade with miles. Previously, just confirmed a Z seat existed on Expert Flyer, booked online, then called to upgrade.
Now, looking at DL630 on 11/17, I see this:
J/1 C/0 D/0 I/0 S/0
No mention of a Z class at all.
I can't find anything on DL's website or this forum that references any change to the policy, but maybe I'm wrong. Ideas?
Thanks.

Fyi, a pretty good indicator of Z is if the flight is close to full... for example in your case with just J1, you're not going to find Z available. Generally if you don't see D, S or I available odds are worse for finding Z in advance.
Other question, are you looking for the entire MNL-DTW or NGO-DTW?

Would you care to change your thread title so many can avoid wasting their time with this? 'How do I find Z inventory?' would not mislead.
