SWUs and outdated information
Am I missing something? The first result that comes up when I search for SWUs is this:
http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...tificates.html
Which clearly says that K class is good enough for the Caribbean. But when I look at the actual SWU in my account it says only YBM for anything outside North America.
Is that page old and they just haven't removed it? Or is something else going on?

DL sometimes has strange definitions of international. Could there be an unusual definition of North America at work here?

Not sure. On the web page I linked they break down all the different areas. On the SWU terms they just say "north america" and "international".
But according to the reservations person I was talking to, M was required to use it for Jamaica.

Yup, gotta read/look for the fine print. Caribbean is considered north america for the SWU. You only need K+ fare. I've found you have to point some agents to the proper fine print for some destinations like that.
