Worth paying for a Delta Premium Select upgrade from Comfort +? add-on cost $500, one way. 8 hour flight time, sort of red eye from the US to Europe. If i stay in Comfort +, will likely have the entire row for myself. Average height. Tempting to upgrade my seat. Any thoughts?

Not if you know you have a row to yourself. Last time I thought I was going to have a row by myself it ended up full.

Yeah I would never judge this by what the seat map looks like right now. Every flight I ever have been on where the seat map had open seats, even the day before, ended up filling in. Especially delta comfort because they will upgrade people in main to delta comfort to fill that in.

There is no chance you will have a comfort+ row to yourself. Status upgrades are available on intercontinental flights from main to comfort+. Your row will be full.

you are all right, i checked this am and all seats on my row are booked. forgot about the status upgrades near flight day!

What does 500 mean to you

Andrew the one the job

I wouldn’t bother personally. $300 is my upper limit for PS because I get a ton more rest eating before the flight, getting on and immediately setting up for sleep w eye mask, neck pillow etc. Usually can get 4 hours sleep and the rest dozing, and feel alright when I get to Europe. PS is def more comfortable but not $500 worth IMO.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
