And to make matters worse im an AA frequent flyer so hopefully will still be welcomed by the group!

Look forward to meeting everyone and participating in this flight with you all, should be a blast.
Welcome to Flyertalk! I'm normally a flyer on the Chicago-based air carrier, and this would actually be my only DL flight this year (presumably). I think you'll find that FT is a friendly group, regardless of where you have your elite status. We hope you stick around for the discussions.

Have not posted on FT for a while. I’m going to be at 35A on the Saturday flight and can also guest two people to Sky Club at JFK if anyone needs it.

That would be nice if you get to bring two guests and they help you carry ice to the gate since DL doesn't believe in iced drinks anymore but as you know, the best champagne typically used in celebrations is always served on ice

DL App is showing that the departure gate is C67 in Terminal 2. Isn't Terminal 2 closed due to lack of flights?

Yes, and I highly doubt that's correct because I don't even think a 777 can fit at C67.

It definitely cannot. However, DL app shows the preceding BOM-JFK flight will arrive at gate A5 at 5 am... Would that stick? It's gonna be awfully far from DSC

That's a really strange gate for Delta to use, they normally only use the B gates. My guess is this has something to do with the arrival being a cargo flight and the aircraft will be towed over to somewhere in B later on.

So far, there are 55 on the upgrade list for D1 and 39 for PS/C+, with zero seats available in either cabin. For 11 seats, there are 6 standbys. An agent in the JFK SC told me that special things are planned for the flight, but she didn't know the correct gate.

Have you tested negative for covid? Just asking since you mention your friend being ill.

Grabbing dinner now on the rooftop bar and then enjoying a nice leisurely swim afterwards.
