Same Day Change Rules Question
Bought a V fare in economy
Subsequently paid additional $ when Delta gave me option to upgrade to Business
Currently ticketed on a Business Z fare
Question is, if I same day change to another flight do i stay in business or am i downgraded to coach based on my initial purchased fare class? Also, do i get a refund for the $ i spent to upgrade on my original flight?
thanks

If you bought the upgrade before check-in, your ticket was reissued in business class. You get full premium cabin benefits, including extra MQMs, and SDC as long as a premium seat is available.
You will not be downgraded if you do a SDC.
Of course, SDC is not available on international flights. I assume you're flying on a transcon or domestic flight coded as business?

if your wife also has a front cabin ticket she can SDC for $50 if she's FO or non-status (although the issue is more likely the additional time involved with the connection)
