I got upgraded a few times as a silver

I got upgraded more as a DL silver than a UA platinum. But yeah, mostly it's the extra 2x points and free bags for personal travel

like

Silver = you acknowledge the miles and status game... Gold = DL acknowledges you exist... Platinum = DL gives you some actually valuable benefits... Diamond = you're IN the game and occasionally lose upgrades during peak times... Million Miller = you're a loser and have no life

A bit more points

Lol

Delta silver gets first class upgrades occasionally, something that never happens with ua or aa

You get upgrades to comfort plus, which is nice. Get it almost every time. I loved it back in my lowly analyst days

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
