As much as I rag on Delta,I believe in giving credit where it's due. I used to deem Delta's elite program was terrible, though they've made improvements in some areas over the past couple of years, or while other airlines absorb matched their negative policies (like American is doing this year). So relatively speaking it's not as depraved of a program anymore,in my opinion.
As of a couple of years ago, Delta lifted the fare restrictions on their systemwide upgrades, and which can now be used on even discounted fares (previously you needed to book a high fare to use them).
Delta Diamond members receive their choice of the following:-- 4 Global Upgrades
-- 8 Regional Upgrades
-- 2 Global Upgrades + 4 Regional Upgrades (fresh as of 2017)Anyway,up until now Global Upgrades absorb been valid on most fares for Delta marketed and operated flights, as well as high fares on Air France and KLM operated flights. I've never really considered upgrades on Air France or KLM to be a obliging use of these certificates, or given the high fare requirements. You typically had to book close to a full fare ticket,which in many cases was more expensive than a discounted business class fare.The post Delta Global Upgrades Can Now Be Used On Discounted KLM Fares appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
