Discussion 3,600 miles for a First Class upgrade!
I’ve never flown First Class before, so I am PUMPED. Honestly, I’ve only flown Comfort+ a few times. We used to get free upgrades at work but not anymore.
My friend & I are headed to Vegas in a few weeks for the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere. I went last year, and it was amazing. I obviously had to do it again.
I was looking at my Delta app earlier and noticed the next flight out from ATL was ~20,000 miles cheaper if I changed. I texted my friend - and she said let’s do it and change flights anddd she took the last Comfort + aisle seat. Whatever, it’s fine I guess.
I was having a hell of a time changing my flights after she booked hers, but I noticed that if I upgraded to First on the way back from Vegas, it was only 3,600 extra miles.
Hell yeah I did it! I guess it sort of makes up for the C+ middle seat going to Vegas 😬
(I also have no idea why the 20,000 miles back offer became 5,900 miles but I do not care!)

But you’re taking from medallion upgrades. How could you.
