Oh no. That's a legitimate grump. Delta will likely lose my mother's business over this.

also, pet in cabin fees should count towards MQDs.
I got burned by this yesterday and posted about it in SkyMiles Life on FB.

Wasn't it a Covid casualty or did it come back at some point?

Yes, they should be deducted.

I book a flight on Saturday, I select a C+ seat right after booking. I get an email on Sunday notifying me I was upgraded to C+.

Yeah. I know.

I LOL'd, this should be the FT moniker. Couldn't make it any better.

I too had this happen and it clogged up my notifications at 9AM today even though I booked at like 8PM last night, unacceptable.

That flight I booked was a PBI-ATL-JAX about 3 weeks from now and the even more tragic part here is that due to the distance between PBI and JAX being pretty short, even though I booked it as a one way ticket, it shows up on the app and website as a multi city trip with PBI-ATL and ATL-JAX being two separate things. Very inconvenient that whenever I look at it in the app I now have to do two extra clicks in order to see both legs wasting precious energy and wearing out my right thumb to the brink of falling off as a result of their multi city shenanigans. I demand compensation for this colossal failure!

Are you kidding?

Lots of times people tell those without even knowing it. They're just not labeled like that.

This has happened to me a couple times. (One I recall was my return flights from Alaska getting divided up as a multi-city ANC-SLC and SLC-DTW.) Besides the inconvenience of extra clicks, it makes it difficult to change your flights in the event of a schedule change since it's locked to that connection point.

It's getting pretty annoying that the Sky Club bartenders keep putting a whole fresh orange slice into my old fashioned and no cocktail cherry.

Fresh fruit is OK but a bottled cherry ruins a drink for some. Next we'll be asking for madarine oranges in syrup
