Trying to book a delta award flight (MSP-ATH), but it is charging me to select a “main” seat? Is this because it is partner operated? Int’l? Something else? My friends aren’t getting the same charge

I believe it’s the extra charge for buying a ticket in the “main economy” group that lets you change/cancel your trip and choose a seat, etc., as opposed to basic economy, where you can’t do that

I’m moving to ATL in a few weeks and was wondering, how accurate is the ATLScoop IG page? Lol.

I’ve lived in DC so I’m not stranger to crime but it’s a little jarring how that seems to be the only thing ATLScoop posts
