    Default Zed Medium tickets to Madrid- is business elite an option??

    Hello. I just purchased zed medium tickets for me and my husband for a flight from jfk to madrid on Delta. Believe me, I would be more than thrilled if we are able to get a seat in coach but I was just wondering what Delta's policy is with regards to non revs from other airlines sitting in business elite. I know some airlines allow it while others, such as Air France, does not. Any information would be appreciated! THanks so much!

    sorry--DL upgrades revs firtst then puts OALs in coach. It would be irregular. Good lcuk with Madrid--it's been very tight on loads--happy to check specific dates for you. My sister and her husband just squeaked on last 2 seats EMO June--lots of HK's and misconnects or rev pax from OALs. That was on buddy pass 24 yrs seniority. I hope you have a Plan B. Barcelona was their original destination but had to grab what they could get. Best of luck to ya! have a glass of wine for me! (it's included in coach)

    Thanks so much for the quick reply and for the offer to check loads. I have one more question for you. I do have a friend who is a gate agent for delta. He would probably let me use one of his buddy passes. I would assume that buddy passes would be boarded before zed fares from oal. Is this correct? If so, maybe it would make sense to see if my friend would have a couple of extra buddies passes. What do you think? Thanks so much for your help

    Buddies, first--potential for BE yes, but buddy passes can be $$. If he has high seniority, you could be getting BE for a bargain. Madrid is about $400 pax. Good news is that fees for Spain are lower than many otehr EU countries. ($17.00 pls taxes on mileage ticket price) If this a special dream trip and you really want BE, I'd spend the $ if you have it. You could do ATL or JFK. Stay friends and maybe you can use some for Asia--those are SWEET!!!

    Thanks so much again for the quick reply and for your help. I think we will buy the zed fares and leave an extra day before in case the flights look better the day before.

    Agreed... I'm not sure what that adds up to be for DL, but UA is $17.50 all in. Not bad
