Anyone have luck getting upgraded on delta international flights with platinum medallion? Is it the same as domestic flights or is there no chance unless you use a Certificate?

Upgrades on international flights for UA, AA, and DL are NOT complementary. They require $$ or an upgrade instrument ie GPU, SWU, GUC

Again, if MC is overbooked they'll upgrade - top down, of course, though it's rare at best even for highest tier.

Back in my consulting days it was sort of assumed that upgrades were limited to domestic US flights. At least business/first class upgrades. I think u could get discounted Economy Comfort seats but they weren't free for sure unlike domestic. At least that's what I recall.

You'll need a GUC for D1 which are only available to DMs. Otherwise, you may see DC+. If they overbook MC, you'll come after the DMs but that's rare.

I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
