We had no issues with Asia travel (several wks after tsunami)
We saw no rev upgrades given on 4 flights.
DL does upgrade revs if coach is oversold until revs are accommodated. NR's get the leftover--if there's a big disparity, I doubt it's an issue. I had S4 with me and we got biz all 4 legs to BKK.
There can be a high no-show factor on some Asia flights from changing refundable tkts, etc.
What's your destination? What gateway is closest to you?

Wherever you go, there you are
Thanks for your input! My destination is NRT, don't really want to travel too far. Last time I went in July I flew to HND instead, not bad actually. Even closer to the city. But I'm from the YVR station so my options are flying via MSP to NRT, Drive down to SEA for NRT, or fly SLC, LAX HND. Haha you can call me crazy. Ive taken risks before domestically, but not too sure when it's only daily flight. Also, I'm traveling with my travel companion, so I'm limited to Delta Mainline or Conx. But November loads look alright. Planning to go 21NOV.
YVR-SLC-LAX-HND isn't too bad, I've done MSP-ORD-LHR-MAD-SVQ as a rev, EAU-ORD-IAD-MAD-SVQ nonrev (both of those had super long connections in the process), and when I was on furlough and could only fly SkyWest flights I flew YYJ-SFO-SLC-ORD-EAU just because I didn't really have any other choices. Sometimes you gotta do what makes sense with your loads and schedules, especially as a nonrev!
