^i actually have opposite advice. Delta does not give free upgrades on international flights unless you use a voucher or are diamond. They will only upgrade otherwise if flight is overbooked or very crowded which happens often. Travel when you think flight would be crowded

Yes if both are on the same reservation it should not decrease chances of upgrade

I've done it a few times. Tips: travel midweek or at terrible times that no one would. I don't even know if they allow this anymore but good luck!

P1, if I'm Diamond and spouse is with me, might both get upgraded?

I've been upgraded internationally 4 or 5 times - was diamond for most though so that may be why.

Medallion members (even diamond) do not get complimentary upgrades to first on international flights.

Maybe not anymore - they've really mucked up the upgrade process recently

Medallion members DO get upgrades on specific international flights.
Caribbean: yes
Asia: no

Do u get complimentary upgrades to business?

Europe?

I just called. Got upgraded to delta+ but she said I was not elligble for first class. A lot of seats are open on the flight. It looks half full. Think it's worth talking to gate agent?
