Is there any way to specify that you don't want to get upgraded to row 1 on Delta? It's the most bittersweet feeling

You mean the no leg room 737 first class seats where you see nothing but shoe prints(and nasty footprints) on the bulkhead? Where you can't bring your laptop bag and the overhead bins are too small for your rollaboard as well so if you're late getting on, you have to stow your luggage in row 25 where your original seat was anyway? Nothing too bittersweet. It's just crappy like a middle seat comfort upgrade. I've declined that before...not an upgrade for my needs...if it's a hop and I've got a decent seat in comfort.

DD1 sounds very high maintenance...

If I'm already at the gate and they haven't done the upgrades yet I just make the request with the gate agent. Otherwise no

I'm imagine you can change seats on the app, they typically upgrade people in groups so there should be availability. I do this with United all the time.

like

Yeah the problem is when you get updated like 30-60 min before the flight when they upgrade everyone. So when you go on the app all other seats are full

DD1, absolutely love that move. D2, I didn't want to figure it out on my own.

No.

I feel like you could have figured this one out on your own, OP. 😜
