Is it doable to make Delta my primary airline flying out of DC area airports? Do upgrades clear with any sort of regularity?

Dca to Atlanta is clearable as a plat but you need fareclass K or higher. DC MSP as Plat is very difficult to clear. SLC is almost impossible for anyone. Can’t say much else about the other stuff. I didn’t have a problem with JFK but I was on the 7 am.

Out of IAD, it’s slightly less competitive.

Dca diamond and am probably approaching 70% upgrade success for MSP, DTW, ATL. Often buy 7ish days in advance, so higher fare classes.

Used regional upgrade for LAX - totally worth it. Wish return time was better (red eye-ish) and didn’t have to burn a whole day heading back east

DCA diamond, fly weekly to SF, I usually get upgraded to DTW or ATL, rarely MSP, and rarely from any of those to SF.
