Courtesy of the New York Times and their article Have Elite Fliers Been Downgraded? I am grateful for my Diamond Elite status looking at how the decision tree continues to grow and the chance of an upgrade becomes less and less likely. However, I do have to say even as a Platinum member in NYC I was upgraded about 90% of the time. What’s your Delta upgrade experience been like recently? Big thanks to reader Lilly in NY for the link!

Platinum out of Seattle. Running about 50% this year. Not as good as I’d hoped this year.
Gold out of LAX. I would say 50%.
Gold out of Atlanta; that status in Atlanta and $1.75 will get me a premium seat on the MARTA train every day. On Delta not so much…
Plat out of Boston. I seem to be at about 80%. All depends on where I am flying to.
Plat out of MPS about 40%….with only about 10% of those coming at my window
Platinum out of Tampa. Only missed one and a Sunday nonetheless. But I’ve also been buying up fares lately as they have been inexpensive, so hard to say how many more I would have missed.
Gold out of SEA. none for a few DL flights this year, unfortunately. So far, chances were better with AS. I’d say it was 75% with DL last year.
