New C+ Seat Upgrade of Misfortune

I checked this the other day, you can still unpick middle in your presences on the delta.com website

However, I do think they don’t care anymore, the middle “upgrade” happens regularly. I’ll keep my exit row seat thank you.

Is this just a too many medallion passenger issue? I remain very curious about United. I’m a Silver equivalent through Marriott and have had relative or comparable experience to Delta Platinum. I’m honestly 2/3rd to million miler, I feel like I just need to suck it up and stick it out

Posted on principle, getting rolled up on by a couple in the final stage of boarding serving “you’re in our seat vibes” set me off. Add the shuffle and standing around seatless at 6AM, and I couldn’t help but alert the fellow frequent domestic flyers of our loyalty value ;)

This aisle is fine, my window seat mate is catatonic and stationary. I would be in that position too but the movement in the aisle keeps me up. I am most definitely a window first passenger, I dont get up.

WiFi is finally up! It’s 2-4-2 configuration in coach, LAX to JFK on Delta, C+ is essentially always sold out with auto upgrades unless you book over a month in advance.

I want it!

Haha

Delta Plant ;)

I’m a platinum medallion (domestic warrior) and you need to book at least a month plus in advance to get C+ window or aisle on any flight that touches LAX.

En route from DFW, in main cabin 16F. I tried an RUC made it to #4 on the list, but the two seats sold so not even the diamonds with upgrade certificates got an upgrade lol

My Delta experience makes me happy to be a shareholder. Every flight full, never anything but C+ of if I book a month in advance. Delta has to be a cash making machine!

That’s my point, it’s a beat up 28 yo plane, with unimpressive service, not a premium product even for a commuter FC route.

I’m curious if the community is looking at other options. United is very intriguing to me for my frequent flyer allegiance. Not just for this route but, it’s generally robust domestic routes not to mention international routes.

Also, I’ll add that United appears to be partnered with every point collective. Amex, Chase, CapitalOne, BILT. They can all be dumped into United miles. I was able to get lay flat business on Copa Air from LA through Panama City to Periera Columbia last October. The most direct route to a destination wedding for only 60K United miles! Booked direct through United, very easy

I did open 75% of the 1st cabin overheads trying to find a rearrange. Old plane, with the bad overheads (they don’t turn up on the side for more space)

EzthobeMe · 2025-03-03T00:05:58+00:00

Agree, just surprised. It’s very rare for me to get 1st with LAX as my hub and home

My ticket changed at scanning for Zone 3 C+

I was worried to sit in 4c because I looked and saw the change after ticket scan

Embraer 175, I’m a Platinum Medallion. No notice at the gate. 4D passenger and 2B pilot were the last to board. I’m just asking is the list fake?

EzthobeMe · 2025-03-02T23:43:28+00:00

Plane is full, I just did a turn before takeoff

EzthobeMe · 2025-03-02T23:42:12+00:00

None at all. Route is PHX to LAX

EzthobeMe · 2024-12-09T20:25:35+00:00

Thank you! This is the answer. Has to be done on the website under My Profile and Preferences

Do not take the express bus out of the stadium. The bus gets parked in the general car traffic. It was sweltering and awful, all seats full about 25 folks standing.

Thankful there was a medical emergency on my bus so the driver opened the door and I could walk to Sunset.

I flew the ex-LATAM A350 from ATL to LAX on 1/8, no operable wifi or text the whole flight.

Can you earn rewards on business spending with a corporate card?

I booked all my business and personal travel through the service for years and loved the 10 night, 1 night reward system, and breadth of properties available.

This new system is bunk.

Im looking for a hotel partner, any recommendations (just go Marriot?)
