Actually, it makes the chances worse, because the further you book in advance, the cheaper the tickets are. Prioritization of upgrades is not just based on the status, but also fare class.

No difference as long as pre-72 hours

Yes at the 72 hour mark it will be starting to clear for upgrades which means people will start getting upgrades. Prior to that you want the highest fare class like p1 said

like

If you have status (Platinum or above), upgrades are confirmed shortly after booking...waiting isn’t necessarily the right move.

In case it helps, scroll to the “When Complimentary Upgrades Clear” section to understand which items impact clearing complimentary upgrades. https://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/skymiles/medallion-program/medallion-upgrades.html

You mean its booked at least 72 hours before the departure time?

Thanks all! I am gold now and likely not going to reach platinum so i guess i will buy early

Also, applying a regional upgrade certificate (or global ) to a confirmed ticket will either 1) immediately upgrade you depending on availability or 2) increase your chances of getting upgraded
