First class no, delta comfort...for sure.

Comfort+ you’ll def get each week. First class? Doubtful you’ll get it every week given the route.

Depends on the people on ur flight. If everyone on the plane is a diamond, then ur gonna sit in peasant class lol

P1 is right. Unless you fly at odd times, first class may only occasionally happen. C+ on 99% of flights though

i agree with A1. i fly on sunday and friday, got first class 80% of the time. Flying on monday morning and thursday night, i am lucky if i dont have to check my bag.

As far as you don’t fly through ATL, plats definitely gets an upgrade to comfort +
