Book last minute so price is higher. That's the only time I ever get upgraded

I am platinum as well and have been doing that flight every week with no luck yet. Would love some help on this one as well

Yea, best bet is to book as late as possible; however, upgrade availability may be limited because the flight distance is long enough to allow many business travelers to book business class.

Use your regional certs…they let those seats fly empty unless coach is oversold and they need to create space (even then Diamonds will take priority over you). Booking early is to your advantage here though. Since we have our fixed price tickets, you're not going to be able to push the fare class up by booking late, however, the tiebreak between two PMs booked into L class is time of ticketing. Also, booking on the 767s typically increases your odds of an upgrade (the up front cabin is so big that it rarely ever sells out / math is in your favor…close to 20% of total seat in DeltaOne on some configs)

No luck at all and that is my standard trip. Same to LAX. Have to use the certificates or pay...which is now a little cheaper

I join tcs by changing my profile and my previous exp was in 5 yr pre-sales.
I am giving my best in work but still escalations are raised against me by client.
My husband is also in tcs he is moving to onsite in Jan and my travel is also planned mid next year.
I am giving 12hour daily in my job to adjust in new profile. And affecting my health now.
Shall I quit the job and move with my husband with on dependant visa? Or i shall continue to get pressurized and wait for my onsite?
Plz suggest.

I’m loyal to delta, but I’m moving to a city where American is the main hub and Delta has practically no non-stop flights to/from there. It’s time for me to open a new credit card, so I was considering the Citi/American one. Any thoughts?
