A friend of mine and I are flying together. He had someone attached to his reservation, I did not.
The upgrade priority is (in Order):
1) Medallion Status
2) Fare Class
3) reserve card holder
4) Corporate traveler
5) if you earned MQM waiver
6) Million Miler status
7) Date and time of request
We have all the same for 1 through 3 but i am a corporate traveler and he is not. He and his companion were upgraded, i was not and there are no more seats left.
I've called Delta and they cant explain why this happened.
Anyone else have a similar issue ???

Yeah I feel like the upgrade system is a little bit wonky right now to. Flying SEA-LAX tomorrow and F was wide open at the 5 day window, 8 seats available. Thought there would be a chance I get upgraded at the 5 day window but I didn't. 3 day window comes and 1 seat goes away, down to 7, where it stayed. Then last night 6 seats get given out in F, despite C+ being empty. No idea if the 6 seats where actually sold, but it seemed suspicious.

Odd then, I can't explain. Maybe an email to Karen Zachary might catch the right set of eyes and provide an explanation (and ~15k SkyPesos). DL email format is [email protected].
