Booked a personal trip to France on Delta. Paid cash and booked Comfort+. Delta says international flights are not eligible for complimentary upgrades? I’m a newbie so forgive me if this is widely known, I’m just bummed because i was hoping to get to business class

Not on long haul. Can use global upgrade certificates to go from premium select to d1. Otherwise, it’s cash/miles to get d1

At platinum and above, you can book main and usually put yourself in Comfort for free. However, upgrades to Premier or Delta One are not complimentary.

I did one time volunteer to get bumped off the flight and got $3,300 in gift cards + an upgrade to Delta One.

Was it Delta or an Air France codeshare? I thought Delta metal was eligible.

Thanks all! Appreciate the help. I’m now trying to imagine the people who’re spending 8k for Delta One lol

Let us know if you can find a good reason lol.

Keep an eye on your delta account. Upgrade options (typically more expensive) and repricing via changing flight to same flight but different fare class might score an affordable upgrade if you are in the market

If the flight has most of Delta One open when at the gate, you could always ask the gate agent to move you to Delta One. I flew back from Barcelona to Atlanta with a main cabin ticket (only gold status) and the gate agent moved me and my spouse to Delta One for free, all I did was ask.
