Delta has quietly removed, without any announcement, the availability to receive complimentary C+ upgrades on routes to Europe.
This is a HUGE devaluation of benefits, especially for Platinum and Diamonds.

Unlimited Complimentary Upgrades:

Medallion Members and one travel companion are eligible for Unlimited Complimentary Upgrades to First Class and Delta Comfort+, as well as the domestic Delta One experience as part of your Medallion Benefits.

That text has been there for several years now (going back to the earliest snapshots of that page from 2019/2020). Pretty safe to assume it's a typo and not a recent policy change.

Well, I am looking at a flight for a few months from now..... Delta may have just lost the sale. Delta was a little higher than the competition but C+ was probably going to get them to keep the sale. Now I will go with the other carrier where I have to pay for the seat I want but... it will cost less that Delta wants for a comfort seat on that route. One of the benefits of being a free agent. Used my "GUCs" and now have no real reason to fly DL internationally.

Plus, that language must be pretty old. It references Hong Kong, which we all know hasn�t been flown to for years.

Nothing has changed. Just an over reaction to a typical DL typo.

DL is really bad at updating the language on their site. I recently canceled an award reservation and still received the warning about points being forfeited if cancelled within 72 hours of departure� that went away more than 3 years ago.

Can't be the case, I just booked a trip this past Saturday to Italy on DL metal in the 3rd quarter and was upgraded to C+ both ways from Main as a Diamond.

You could buy the ticket and see whether it upgrades to C+ before the 24 hour refund period ends, buy the ticket with miles, or keep it beyond 24 hours and plan to use a DL eCredit later if it doesn't upgrade within what you consider a reasonable time.

Same here, booked a flight to Europe last week, and was upgraded to C+ right after booking.

I am locking this thread due to the misleading title.
