Thread: Anyone from DL here?

I'm a 9E parent, with some of DL ZED experience, primarily JFK-NCE-JFK, and once BDL-LAX (when that was still available). My experience has been that DL has always tried to make room up front for us when possible. Out of about 10 flts, I'd guess we've lucked out maybe 4 times. Good luck to you, let us know how it went, and bon voyage. Btw, I'm curious how thngs will be after the NW-DL merge..looks like we may get LESS chance of upgrading on what are now DL flts, because NW almost never upgrades us. Can't complain, though, non-rev is still a wonderful privelege no matter what class.

Thanks for the info. 9E employee here, too. I have heard that DL tries to accomodate non-rev&#39;s but just want to make sure. As of now, NWA has plenty of seats open so I&#39;ll likely go ahead and fly WBC on the 747 and get a backup ZED ticket from ICN-ATL on KE (for some reason DL flies there non-stop but can&#39;t find the return back on DL non-stop)
As for the merger, good question. I just hope we have a job (ramper, here!). Will be interesting. Yeah, my experiences have been NWA will not upgrade employees without paying the appropriate fare. You&#39;re right...non-rev&#39;ing is great on NWA!

Has anyone been to Copenhagen? If so, any info. would be great. Thanks

As a Delta employee, I can tell you that Delta does upgrade all nonrevs, space permitting, regardless of which airline you are from. So happy nonreving!

we just flew ICN/ATL (outbound was iffy on seats, so we opted for ATL/NRT last-minute)
2 NW pax were put up front with us, even tho there were tons of seats in back (wasn&#39;t that nice?!)
Inter Asia KE business class is only so-so--we just used miles for ICN/DPS and the seats/food are average at best (Airbus 330 whale--old fold-out metal footrest, fabric seats, skinny pillows and static blankets, minimal service)[/b]

I&#39;ve seen DL employees mentioning using miles to upgrade or pay for travel before. Forgive me if this sounds silly, but do DL employees accrue miles on pass travel segments? I&#39;m not really familiar with how other airlines work in terms of pass travel on any airline except my own.
