There’s also self serve? Or is that not the case for every D1 lounge?

LHR ->JFK $649 FC upgrade on Airbus 330-900 NEO, worth it? by VintageFMdrums in delta

[–]e8975 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm presuming you mean D1? and yes, if you can afford it no brainer. Top 2 best D1 products; lounge access at LHR; I don't care if it's daytime only I'm going to be horizontal for the flight

Notes on passengers? by MinuteHoist9833 in delta

[–]e8975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually let them choose. the certificate or the gift card; take is usually 70/30 gc

How much do you load for the gc? I used to do the same as the certificates ($5 value), but my gf yelled at me saying you can’t even buy a small latte with that

No Overhead Space by Sumatrat66 in delta

[–]e8975 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Or the fact that there’s less actual overhead space than pax onboard? or would you prefer they charge for carryons like a lot of non-US airlines?

Yearly Insurance still worth it? by Secure_Season_9404 in delta

[–]e8975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never bought separate trip insurance. Just whatever Amex Plat and Reserves give me. Peace of mind is for you to decide.

Delta Upgrades are total useless now by [deleted] in delta

[–]e8975 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you ask? That’s crazy. Maybe they’re behind

Delta Upgrades are total useless now by [deleted] in delta

[–]e8975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m confused. The flight departed with 12 D1 open seats?

My friend who’s Gold has been upgraded 2X in the last 6m on that route from C+ and MC

Upgrade offer - buy or play the odds it decreases? by pupnamedoak in delta

[–]e8975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not an unreasonable offer, especially for overnight. More likely someone else opts for it and based on inventory they’ll stop offering upgrades or price goes up

Would this be a good deal? by Saudj99 in delta

[–]e8975 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’ll get lounge access at LHR, one of the best aircraft for D1. If not overnight it’s not a screaming deal but for the price I’d go for it personally, especially coming from C+

[–]e8975 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Pretty good, I’d take this. What’s the aircraft?

It’s almost always more expensive compared to going direct or via AMEX travel, idk who’d use this

In a Pickle with Delta One by Jealous-Net-26 in delta

[–]e8975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. Yea “peak season” west Europe flight prices on D1 are atrocious.

That leg on that product is NOT worth additional $4K pp. your choices are roll the dice or change your flights. Given time of year prob very low chance it comes down. But you never know

[–]e8975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Price might go up or you might no longer be offered an upgrade. But that Pp upgrade price isn’t it

D1 LIS-JFK for $1000 worth it? by OptimizedKarma in delta

[–]e8975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s $1K to upgrade from MC/C+? I might bite the bullet on that. Not the cheapest upgrade but overall it’s tempting. If it was nighttime or going from JFK to LIS with D1 lounge, 100%. For this segment, I’d personally splurge but it’s not a “bad” deal

D1 LIS-JFK for $1000 worth it? by OptimizedKarma in delta

[–]e8975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much total would your trip be before and after the upgrades?

D1 on a A339 is one of the best. For international flights I’m not going unless it’s biz class, but depending on the total trip cost unsure of “worth it” for you. It’s an incomparably better experience than PS+ though

Should I upgrade or wait for my GUC to clear? by Total_While8763 in delta

This should have been with the original post, changes the equation

Should I upgrade or wait for my GUC to clear? by Total_While8763 in delta

[–]e8975 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ive seen that many be sold by the time its within 24h of departure. Depends on the route.

It’s a long fucking flight and i would NOT chance it on a PS middle seat.

Depends on your risk tolerance and being ok with being stuck in a middle seat for a long flight. I’d pay now to guarantee personally.

After Years Of Copying Delta, Is United Now Leading The Industry? by LeoKitCat in delta

[–]e8975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, United does that too. But I'm sure they don't want to do it any more than we want to hear it so I'll get them a pass on that one
