Thread: Delta moving coach passengers to business due to overbooking in Europe?

it WAS weird---there were a few flights I investigated that had plenty of seats outbound on an odd day or 2,but inbound has been jammed!
I gave up with 2 attempts DUB due to return loads and HKs. Trying for FCO next wk which doesn't look bad but I know Dl peeps will use S2s and I'm not sure I want to waste one to come back. I have 4 flight options and none of them make me secure, since I have a family of 4 that's listed on ALL of them. It'll be a crapshoot to figure which one they choose!
HAHA Had to look up GTC. After 13 days of 90+ temps I'd be headed to Alaska or South America!
At least we're making $$. Somebody has to pay for our trvavel

That's certainly not DL policy for overbooked INT. They just did it on Boss' flight last wk. Over a dozen were upgraded gratis and they got rev standbys on. No nonrevs made it.

I just saw a half dozen or so rev upgrades on what would have been my JFK/FCO flight tonite. I wasn't crazy enough to go and try to get back next wk.
