Have diamond on Delta and need to take a personal coach flight on KLM. Any chance I can use Delta miles for an upgrade?

1. If it’s delta ticketed with Delta flight #’s and KLM operates you can use a global as long as Z is avail
2. If it’s delta ticketed and KLM operated/marketed you can only use miles to upgrade on a Y, B, or M fare
3. If it’s an Ex-AMS flight any delta or klm operated flight can be upgraded using a cash miles combo including skymiles (reference flyertalk)
4. You can do klm paid day of departure but must be KLm operated (could be delta ticketed or klm ticketed, but would go for klm ticketed at that)

Thank you everyone. Fingers crossed it is.

As long as there is Z class space you can use a Global upgrade certificate.

Probably not. But download the KLM app and check for upgrades. You're able to check in 30 hrs prior to flying. So you should be able to see options. It'll probably be 300 dollars.

What route?

All three posts are wrong

Thanks EY1 - it's a New Delhi - Atlanta flight with a 2 hour layover in Amsterdam. Ticketed and operated by KLM.

So you can ask at check in , then if not avail ask at the crown lounge in AMS

And this is why his/her best bet is KLM paid upgrade OLCI

I wouldn’t bank on OLCI. Go to the desk

In Amsterdam 2 hrs is barely enough time since upgrades clear 90 min before hand

it’s enough time at the crown lounge

I am a CPA based out of Canada. I have 7 years of corporate finance and FP&A work under my belt. My fiancé will be starting dental school in NZ by Feb’23. Aiming to be a direct flight away from her, I have started looking into work opportunities in Australia. Can any expat here share their experience with getting a job as a foreigner? Are there any recruitment firms that specialize in working with expat talent? What was the biggest culture shock moving to Australia?

We're going on our first family trip in a couple of weeks. Going to Turks and Caicos (Beaches) from Boston. I'm super anxious about it. Haven't been on a plane in 3 years(!!), and I'm really nervous about flying with our kids. They're 2 & 4, and the 2 year old doesn't wear a mask yet.

Any pro tips for those locations or just travel in general? Anyone flown recently (post no masks) and can calm my COVID fears for the littles?

Not sure if this is the place, but I have a preliminary interview with Kearney later this week for a Manager position. I’ve been working remotely with BDO for a couple years now.

Being away from my kids and husband more than 25% of the time... I don’t know if I could do it, even if it could potentially double my current salary.

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.
