International Delta One Upgrade List
I'm a Delta Platinum checked in for an international flight. Delta doesn't offer complementary upgrades to Delta One on international flights, but there are two people on the Delta One upgrade list.
I'm curious how they got on the list? I'm assuming that must both have used Global Upgrade certs which haven't yet cleared, but wanted to check if I had missed some other eligibility (e.g. fare class)?
I only recently discovered that fare class impacts whether I get offered to upgrade with $ or miles, so now I'm wondering if there's other things I've missed.

It could be a PM or lower who was DM or 360 last year and still has GUCs to use. GUCs can also be used for one traveling companion who need not be elite (but IIRC must have a SkyMiles number on the booking, just like for a free elite upgrade to domestic FC).

NRSA never appear on the upgrade list. They clear from standby to whatever is best seat available, regardless if that seat is J or Y.
