I was on flight from ATL to MKE this noon. I was seated in row 4 of an MD, so I was curious how the C+ thing was going to go. When the FA & beverage carts went by and asked row 10 what they wanted to drink, the person in 10B asked for a beer and the FA asked for their credit card. But the guy next to him chimed in quick to say the Comfort+ should get "adult" beverages for free starting today, to which the FA said the 1st is tomorrow...then said no wait it is today LOL. I did not see any added snacks on the cart, but the flight is only 674 miles. Although we had the brownie brittle in the F basket. This MD did not have the new seat covers or "reserved for Comfort+ customers" on the overheads either.

I can't find the C+ rules on the website either.....I can see on some upcoming flights that the website is now expecting me to pay if I want the C+ seat...not sure if that's a result of a C+ change or my drop to GM...

It's on the website under medallion benefits. You don't get access to C+ until 72 hours prior to departure as a gold. Want it sooner you pay.

On board HKG-SEA. In BE.
New menu, with the Delta One TM. Black with silver writing. Very professional.
Stewardess indicated that the new seat covers in BE had not been installed yet-but soon.
I must say I have a particularly jovial and upbeat crew.

You mean that the crew were jovial and upbeat until you used the word stewardess?

Personal device. (iPad) You input your first and last name and seat and it attempts to check it with a database. For whatever reason, I did not match the database.
As for Comfort+, on this flight it was still being referred to as Economy Comfort. So draw your own conclusions on that. :-) (FWIW, it was Delta Connection.)

I always purchase FC and my seat is assigned long before the day of departure. So their usual excuses do not apply. It just never validates and I have to use the CHAT option to get a coupon code. Very inconvenient on a short flight.

I wonder how this is going to work with flights booked earlier. I have a STL-ATL in the fall booked (client wanted everything paid for in advanced) that I chose econ + for free on. I checked this morning and my seat assignments were still fine. If (and you know it will) the flight changes, I wonder if my seat goes back to the back.

My wife (GM) had a schedule change from the usual Saturday shuffle that moved her flight up almost three hours, which would mean leaving before dawn. When she called to rebook, she lost the C+ seating, which we expected, and was offered the chance to buy it back for roughly the same price she paid for the ticket. In the course of politely saying no, the Delta rep on the phone made some mention of maybe getting an upgrade to either first or C+. Obviously, the upgrade to first is the usual low-probability complimentary Medallion upgrade, but this statement implies there is an upgrade list for C+, which is not mentioned in anything I have seen nor could find with a search or two.
I thought getting an "upgrade" to C+ was first-come-first-served for GMs at 72 hours prior. Is there a list for upgrades to C+?

FWIW my 1st flight with the new EC/E+ is this Wednesday and I won't be able to use them......I've all ready been upgraded!
