mrs septsixsept er (thats's mrs767er):
I always enjoy all your contributions, but have to differ here
"DL does not typically upgrade OAL.."
because we (NW parents) have had pretty good luck with getting up front out of JFK, and once out of BDL (when Delta did BDL-LAX).
Always grateful to DL for great OAL non-rev treatment.
Heading over to France again in a week or two, lamenting that JFK-NCE, which has been daily for 30 years (that includes many Pan Am years for that flt) is now three per week., but glad they've added LYS, which is almost as convenient to where we want to go as NCE.
