We plan on using our Frequent Flier miles to get to Italy on Oct 1 (Not non rev). I make a terrible passenger http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif. Does anyone have any inside knowledge on how to get an upgrade to Business or First Class? I always take candy to the Flight Crew. Any suggestions! Thanks

Mileage Tickets are not upgradeable to Business Elite. You can ask the F/A once on board but the ticket counter and gate agents wont be able to help you. Delta has now implemented a "Verified Ticketing" application which audits every ticketing function we do so it is getting harder and harder on us to offer "waivers and favors" and comp upgrades unless it is something that falls within published guidelines.

Thanks for the help. I always hate to ask the F/A's for a favor...I always hope they will offer a first class or business class seat when they know I am an airline employee. We'll see. Happy flying http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif.

I hate to tell you this but DL FA's should not be giving even Delta employees seats up front when flying on FF tkts.

I know some DL FA's that do all they can for fellow DL employees and OAL employees. Why not?

Why not, you ask?
Well, I am using my skymiles to purchase a ticket in coach for Xmiles. Or I'm using 2X miles to purchase one in business class.
WHY, INDEED, should the other person be allowed to sit next to me, when I PAID for my seat with twice as many miles?? This is a NO-NO.
I earned those miles and in sepnding twice as many, I earned that seat.
Would I expect to get upgraded to BUSiness class on Greyhound, oops, I mean SouthWest when I fly to Europe--oops, they don't FLY there...
Silly me!

Do you think you are responding to a Southwest Airlines Employee? I really don't understand why you are so angry. Besides, not everyone on the plane pays the same price for their tickets. Some pay full price, some get deep discounts. But still they sit next to each other on the same plane, is that wrong?

Yes, mrs767er needs to calm down and take a deep breath. As a non-rev, I'm sure I've been next to a full fare pax. What am I'm suppose to do?!?!

PagoFlyer--would you feel the same if you used hard-earned miles--this issue is regarding frequent flyer award seats--maybe you didn't understand--that's what my objection is about. It's not a paid revenue ticket.
The inequity is that soemone who is an airline employee (A) uses FF miles for coach seat. Employee B cannot get coach seat on FF miles so they have to use DOUBLE miles. Empl A expects to be upgraded to sit next to Empl B.
It is a no-no and against policy. Same for any empl being able to buy/confirm seat, then canceling and using pass travel instead, if loads look good.
It's cheating and yes, I am angry that you and SWA LUV to FLY (sorry, however, that I mistook you for a South West employee---DOH!My error.)thinks that's ok. It isn't.
This is a forum and I am entitled to my opinion. I said nothing deragatory about either of you other than your actions and/or sugeestions. You are entitled to your opinion, too. I'm glad you responded. Your response shows your maturity. Thanks again.
PS--Pago Flyer--you asked--what are you supposed to do? If you're a Delta empoyee, you keep quiet about your seat, take a deep breath and be grateful you have a seat (we all know how hard it is to non-rev!)and a job paid for by the revenue pax next to you.

Well let's see. I've been non-reving for a looong time and I NEVER have told any pax my background.
