Delta experts: Upgrade question. Just made Platinum and have been #1 on upgrade list since check-in at 6am. But open First seats went from 5 to 0 during the day. What's going on here?

They may have checked in after you as well. Names don't get added to the list unless passengers are checked in.

They may have offered an upgrade option for a fee as people checked in and perhaps 5 people took it. When I checked in today they offered a first class upgrade for 159. I didn't take it but if it's a long flight sometimes people will opt in.

You may have gotten bumped down by other folks who also have platinum status but have been with delta longer or paid more for their ticket...Delta is weird about that. It's not a first come, first serve for upgrades.

That I get, but wouldn't they have been on upgrade list ahead of me?

Thanks D1. Just a 90min flight but that makes sense.

People purchase last minute flights and move their flights around all the time. Also employees generally can just into first class seats using certain credits they have if seats are available less than 24 hours ahead. And there's always diamond people who might have upgrades clear quickly. It's generally not watching the upgrade list until you get close to the actual flight time.

If people have upgrade certificates they can leap frog you. I'm diamond 360, usually number 1 on the upgrade list I only get jumped over by people who actually buy 1st class seats, or by people using their certificates.

Thanks all

Sometimes when people are rebooking from other flights because of delays, mechanical problems, etc Delta offers the available first class seats to the medallion holders on that flight to help make up for the inconvenience of their flight being cancelled / needing to be rebooked. It's good customer service for those we have been delayed / are being rebooked, but people, like yourself, feel like their getting shafted

List is updated with a name until that person checks in for the flight.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
