But were they available in the same booking class as your original flights when booked on a single fare component. Also, fare construction for what you were seeing may have been a broken fare (you would have to look at fare rules link to see if that was the case) if there was no married inventory at all.

How is it that standby passengers and non revenue passengers cleared directly into first class and comf+ while there was still people on the upgrade list?

So I qualified for platinum medallion in 2021. Got my luggage tags the other day and I got gold tags and they don't have the little straps to attach to my bag.

I know these luggage tags are kind of a douchey flex, but I was proud I basically made it on award travel and cc spend.

At least you got yours. I have been waiting a year for my silver ones, which I would use proudly, just 'cuz.

Just want to make sure before I start speculatively booking things. If I book for my wife and son with my Skymiles and cancel the flight, all the Skymiles get redeposited to my account correct?

What does it mean when a flight seat map becomes unavailable? The flight is in two months.

Is it an equipment change? Schedule change? I assume that by next week the seat map will be available once more—as long as the flight has not been canceled?

"What does it mean..." Look at the calendar. Is today a Saturday? DL makes their schedule adjustments on Saturday - check again on Sunday or Monday and see what happened.

I’ve been happily shopping for my upcoming trip in May, JFK-CDG, D1. Return in PS.

I tend to be cold on flights. Does D1 provide a blanket? I assume yes because there is the bed. But should I choose to rest/sleep in the chair, is it a good blanket for that or should I bring one?

Also, are there toothbrush, toothpaste and eye mask in the amenity kit?

Thanks!

Most of us just refer to the partner earning page -- https://www.delta.com/us/en/skymiles...rline-partners
You have to click on the square boxes that say "Mileage Earn On/After ..." to bring up the earnings tables (unfortunately, it's not all that obvious). Earn is basically consistent among the core partners (and they generally have better earning rates than other partners). Note the flights must be specifically marketed by partners (and not DL). DL operated flights marketed by partners also earn based on partner earning rates.

They do provide a blanket and pillow. and it's usually plenty (for me, too) warm. They provide toothbrush, toothpaste, and an eye mask in the amenity kit.

Question Premium Select - no floor storage during take-off?

Hey Everyone! I will be flying Premium Select soon. I saw on the Delta site that these seats have "no floor storage during take-off and landing."

Would someone please explain to me why this is? I've been searching and searching for an answer or reasoning. I'm not losing my mind and not angry about it. Just want to understand why, as other seating doesn't seem to have this requirement.

Thanks for any wisdoms you can share!
