SDC and domestic flights with int'l flight numbers
So I perused the giant SDC thread and couldn't find any mention of this, so apologies if it's been answered before.
Tomorrow I'm on DL74 DFW-ATL, booked into D. With the change of the SDC rules, do I have only one option for SDC if the need arises? The only other flight that is marketing D fares is DL84, which is expected since all the other flights are domestic flight numbers with F/P/A/G instead of J/C/D/I/Z.
Also, what if there is only one sub-1000 numbered flight to a destination? Would that effectively eliminate an SDC for someone booked into business class?

Good question... D is 'supposed' to map into P when you have a situation like that with domestic/intl numbers. So theoretically you can SDC onto a domestic flight number if P is available, but I'm sure you'll get some interesting responses from different agents on what you can do.
