Using Regional Upgrades on Delta (RUC) post 2/1/2022
Folks,
As he upgrade rules have changed in the post 2/1/2022 era, we will start a new thread for these discussions. Cheers Ryandc99 Moderator Delta Air Lines |
I'm confused about Wiki entries which lists Premium Select as eligible for RUC upgrades. Maybe I missed it, but I have seen nothing from DL about RUCs being valid for upgrades into Premium Select (website still only lists FC and Domestic D1).

I've found that the website now shows a lot more RUC availability and it does seem to correlate to Z or I fare class availability. However, I've now called in to apply RUCs to two flights only to be told that there is no availability for these flights, despite the website showing there is. So frustrating.

I had the same issue with website showing RUCs available and agent saying it wasn't. Haven't had a chance to HUCA yet.
It does make me wonder though ... the agent offered to waitlist me, but does that mean they would not have waitlisted me correctly? Or maybe that if I had accepted the offer that the waitlist would have cleared immediately? |

If it has OY it will still show without Z, here is one with I showing availability. |

What is the date for this example? As the previous poster noted, just because Delta.com only shows I for sale doesn't mean Z is 0.

So Z is indeed open for that flight.

I have yet to see an instance where it says "First Available with Upgrade Certificate" with only I open and not Z.
EDIT: bleh, should've read the rest of the responses first :o :p |
So if EF shows Z availability we should be able to apply an RUC? Is that correct?

Applied a RUC only to inbound of ATL/LAX because it has lie flats. The outbound doesn't have lie flats and I needed to SDS/SDC. Called to check on the RUC being applied correctly. It was. Checked in to the oubound and I was #1 on the upgrade list. Someone had applied the RUC to the outbound. WTH! Why does this have to be so difficult? Went from #1 to #10 on the upgrade list. I'll be happy with C+ when I clear. Oh btw, I like the new app. I SDC'd on the app and it was a breeze.
