Does Delta Platinum really mean anything? I get an upgrade to first on maybe 10% of flights. Going on 35th flight of the year tomorrow.

In short, yes. The value is being finished now with credit card MQMs and the ability to buy status.. Depends on route but it’s been great for personal cross country flights were upgrades are more common with the wife. Regional upgrade certs I.e. delta one upgrade NYC to SFO. Upgrade to comfort+ immediately upon booking. Higher bonus.

Depends on the route you fly and on what days. If you’re going ATL <> NYC and other large airports, it really isn’t anything because everyone is Diamond in ATL

Not ATL based, don't go to NYC. Midwest to all over.

Just Silver on United and get upgrades about 50% of the time. Seems really strange to me.

Depends on what city you are out of and how busy it is. Delta tends to be busier

I get upgrades on roughly 2/3 of my flights. It’s helpful to book off-peak times and look at the seat maps before buying. Lots of open FC seats means upgrades are more likely. I do get C+ or exit row on any flight where I don’t get an upgrade, though, and I’m ok with that.
