Why don't you check delta and see if you can update and then report back. Not sure what your question is here

Do you have global upgrades ? Otherwise you can use miles to upgrade on an international fare in Y,B,M,H,Q,K but you may end up paying more using miles than just buying a ticket on miles one way in business.

Anyone here on a sponsored worker visa?

I am switching employers to Accenture.

I am being told I cannot clear a right to work check until my BRP arrives. And because of this I will need to have my start date pushed by two weeks (start date is mid Jan right now, visa approved yesterday and they need the documents by end of week).

Does this make sense? I'm trying to argue my case as I don't like the idea of losing two weeks, and I am approved. I cannot control the post delivery times...
