Yes. However, remember that MQDs are earned only when you fly the actual segments. Anything scheduled to depart at 11:59 pm or earlier on December 31st in the local time zone of the departure airport) will count as 2021 (regardless of when it lands or any flight delays), while segments scheduled to depart after midnight will count for 2022. [The same rules apply in theory to MQS and MQM earning, but all MQMs roll over this year.]

Airport Concierge Services (CDG)
Hi everyone,
I I have a trip from JFK to CDG scheduled for May and recently read about airport concierge services which help customers with fast track check-in, VAT refund and immigration services, specifically for CDG.
I was wondering if anyone has used these services and if they are worth it. Alternatively does Delta have such services available? Thanks!

I've noticed more seats 'unavailable' lately, but just noticed if I login they are available. It only appears when I login as a GM, not my wife that does not have status. Is this something new?

Also, anyone knows if DL will fly to JNU, at least in the summer of 2022?

Y/B fares do not qualify for comp upgrades on their own on Delta (they ended that program a number of years ago). If you have DL Platinum status or higher, you can get comp upgrades to C+ at time of booking on any fare (except Basic Economy). Gold and Silver upgrade windows to C+ are the same as First Class upgrades (3-day and 1-day, respectively). However, Exit row seats on most Delta aircraft are not part of C+ cabin (they are only Preferred seats) and can be selected at time of booking by Gold and Silver Medallions. They have similar or more legroom than C+ (C+ seats are identical to Main Cabin seats), but they don't get comp alcohol.

ADDED: You should expect connections through SEA since JNU is a small airport and small town, with not much of Alaska accessible by land from Juneau. ANC has service from various DL hubs, as does FAI during summer.

Is there a way I can prepurchase a wifi pass for the flight? And how do I know which pass to prepurchase (Viasat or Gogo)?
I remember that Delta used to have a screen where you could buy add-ons for your flight, but I can't find WiFi on it anywhere. My flight is on a 737-900ER

Hi. Is there anything in the changes or “enhancements” that would keep Mrs K7Beach from having to book a flight/run to make the MQDs?
I gifted her Amex MQMs but I completely forgot about MQDs or card spend (DOH). She will fly way more next year and she gets good return from Silver.
The source of the MQM is a Amex DL Reserve and she has an authorized card, if that makes a difference. Thank you!
P.S. I just thought of this… If all MQMs roll over, will her MQD’s reset to zero?

Hi, does anyone know if there is a special DL telephone number I can call as a Silver Medallion?
I noticed a drop in price for D1 seats for a flight in May 2022 from JFK to CDG that I booked C+ seats and would like to see what an upgrade may cost.
Last time I called DL I was on hold three hours and would like to lessen the wait time if possible.
Thanks,
Trish

From the Wiki in the "Extensive Hold Times" thread:
Singapore Reservations Line often can be reached with little to no hold time.
+65-6336-3371
Suggestion to use Skype or Google Voice - both offer rates of 1 cent per minute.
Delta Extensive Hold Times during COVID-19 (consolidated thread)
Did you try just changing the reservation online? I would not recommend canceling and rebooking just in case the price you see is "Phantom" availability and then doesn't go through and then you can't even rebook what you originally had, at least at the same rate. But if you can rebook online, this may be easier.

I've never tried it but many FTers recommend trying the DL Singapore number.
