Red face

The seat map shows 16 of 24 seats available in 1st class on my MCO-ATL flight tomorrow. Why haven't I been upgraded yet? The other 3 legs in this itinerary have already been upgraded.

The last few UGs, when I received them, were at the gate.

Italy98, I'm just being funny here... I will probably get the MCO-ATL upgrade at the gate... unless they sell the seats first...

Ah, so close and yet so far away - I'm on the 2:45.

Thanks for the welcome!

I know , however, I was not about my UGs coming at the gate after boarding started.

OT - has anyone experienced a different home page for AmEx?

Done with big baccarat shoe #1; held my own dealing the ENTIRE shoe. No other players.

Exhausting!

Couldn't you placed the shoe on the table instead of holding it?

Shoes go on the conveyor, not in the bins.

Apparently it makes no difference how many seats are open in FC tomorrow. They have only opened V class for the last two flights and it looks like you are on the the gate lottery.

I have a similar situation WPB-LGA a week from Thursday on a route that I have flown dozens of times. I have never failed the upgrade on that one as a PM or DM and cannot remember the last time that I did not get it in advance.

My MCO flights lately have been gate upgrades but I already got the upgrade email for my flight this Thursday, ATL-MCO. Makes no sense to me. I guess it makes sense to someone at DL?

Afternoon to the lounge.. I realize that I haven't been up in a DL plane in almost a month and it is driving me nutssssss. Thank goodness I'm flying tomorrow, I think I'm going through withdrawal.

Also, I'm flying a DL Mainline flight out of OMA tomorrow. This is big, big news

I don't get to break withdrawal until Thursday, when I get to go overboard (BWI-DTW-NGO).

Good evening from the L'Espace Premiere lounge in 2E, where I am figuring out whether I should stay at the Sheraton or the Hilton for the night. Any suggestions?

Also, I've made a resolution to start burning my massed skypesos (all 3.4 million-ish). Any suggestions on where to burn them?

But, on another note, it appears from news reports that the America's Cup is going to SFO, but the lead-up races are going to be in RI. Is anyone up to the cause of going to see the Cup races?
