OK.... why does Delta offer 72hr complimentary GM upgrades if they don't upgrade you 72hrs in advance? I am within the 72hr window, 6 FC seats open, and no upgrade. So I called and asked, they tell me they are waiting to see if they sell more FC seats first. I know.... first world problems. LOL
This is probably one of the top 3 issues that are brought up here frequently.

One reason is that, there might be Diamonds or Platinums ahead of you that haven't been upgraded yet. NOT every single seat that's for sale is available for a complimentary upgrade. They hold back a few hoping to sell some in the last hours, or, in case a paid first class customer misconnects.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but in Delta One, on the Airbus 350 in the suites, if you don't have a window seat, you don't have an air vent. The middle section has no air vents that you can turn off and on during the flight.

This is NOT a random, trivial, pathetic thing. This really does suck for an expensive, long flight.

I wish BOS SC had the same breakfast spread as SEA. The powdered eggs were pretty bad this morning....even dressed up with salsa and bacon. Tho a bit of cheddar cheese would have helped the equation.

Powdered eggs are insulting. If you have to cheap out go with the liquid mix. It's at least half-edible.
