My JFK - LAX flight just got delayed 6 hours. Almost all the first class people jumped ship. This is a not a free upgradable flight (Delta One). Since the FC is almost empty, will they do upgrades?

Maybe not on Delta nonstops, but there 7 seats for sales on DL 2825 at 425 pm to MSP then 9 on 2321 MSP-LAX. 1 hr 9 min connection in Minneapolis.

Yeah, because it's feasible to just avoid the 4th largest airport in the world. Great advise, thanks for helping out.

They'll usually only do upgrades if the flight is oversold. My guess is you're screwed.

Yes. And has an Expertflyer subscription to see seats available in the GDS.

I just wish BUR and LGB had more flights to the East (same for OAK and SJC in the Bay Area), SNA had fewer slot restrictions, SBA wasn't so far away, and ONT was useful to more than cargo operators.

Depends on the gate agents / flight attendants. Maybe, if they're feeling nice.. but don't expect it

What's your status? As diamond I don't even ask, I tell.

Find another way there that doesn't waste 6 hours. A delay of that magnitude risks cancellation anyway.

There doesn't seem to be another way. ;-(

Avoid LAX at all costs. The construction going on there makes everything a nightmare

@OP I've seen them upgrade biz class to first on transcon flights, so that may free up some space in biz for Plat/ExPlat.

Lol K1 chill bro! Love the ones who troll other people trying to help but don't offer any options themselves 😂 not to mention when there are language errors involved. Ahh man..funny.

Anyway, to my point, there are five different airports in LA, LAX is not the only option. So if it's possible to fly into a different one I highly recommend ✌🏼️

Same pwc1. I live much closer to OAK but there aren't any direct flights to my client. Depending when I have to leave though, sometimes it's worth it to fly out of there with a connection rather than battle my way to and from SFO

Thanks everyone. Tried standby several time unsuccessfully. Taking the original flight which should leave in 45 mins

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
