OY instead of OP ?
GUC's just cleared for upcoming DTW-NRT flight. It shows OY instead of OP. Is this a new Delta 1 upgrade booking class?

My GUC upgraded trip in July shows OY too.

Interestingly, the domestic flight in C+ shows SU.

Looks like that thread was quite old and didn't reflect reality.... just last month I traveled with a GUC and it went into OP/RP. The effective cut-in from that change seems to be recent.

Makes me wonder if they are making more buckets.

I posted in the "Delta Premium Select - "W" Class?" thread. Is the SU a complimentary upgrade?

I'm wondering whether the next step will be DL using different inventory buckets for upgrades with miles versus GUGs/RUCs or even different buckets depending on the coach fare class (as PMNW did, where having B class rather than M made it much easier to confirm WBC for IME a couple hundred dollars more).

Just checked mine and they have also been changed to SU from WU within the last few days.

Just my usual request for a wiki, when all the codes are sorted.

I have been using MSPEconomist's helpful mnemonic for OP/RP, that "P" is for "paper", which connotes an instrument (RUC/GUC/mileage) upgrade. And that for OU/RU, "U" is for an ordinary (Medallion) "upgrade".

But I now fear this will get more complicated....

If they are changing the C+ complimentary upgrade to SU, I would have expected C+ to no longer be W (presumably so that W can be used to Premium Select), but it remains W.

SU is short for "Suck it Up" this is the only upgrade you're going to get

Wondering if this is to distinguish different C+ routes (domestic, international, etc.) and perhaps to distinguish between revenue and award ticket upgrades. (My previous award ticket C+ upgrades also went to WU. Not sure if that remains the same since SU appeared).

Edited to answer my own question: Award ticket C+ upgrades now show SU.

Just noticed by doing a dummy booking.

Domestic award in C+ now books to S.
Domestic revenue ticket in C+ still books to W.

I checked for both D1 (JFK-LAX) and non-D1 domestic routes. Didn't check international.
