TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR TRIP
Now you have two ways to enjoy your Complimentary Upgrades.
GET YOUR UPGRADES AUTOMATICALLY
Opt inopens in a new window and when you receive a Complimentary Upgrade, you can now use the seat map to select any available* seat across the entire seat map** regardless of cabin instead of calling Delta for assistance.
Opt in for automatic Complimentary Upgrades if you:
- Prefer to maintain top upgrade priority within your Medallion eligibility window
- Enjoy the ease of automation
- Are comfortable self-selecting to an available seat if you get upgraded into a seat you don't prefer
SELECT YOUR UPGRADES YOURSELF
Opt outopens in a new window of automatic Complimentary Upgrades, and you can now use the seat map** to select any available* seat yourself across any cabin instead of calling Delta for assistance.
Opt out of Complimentary Upgrades if you:
- Prefer to choose your upgraded seat
- Will remember to choose your upgrade during your eligibility window
- Don't mind receiving lower priority within your eligibility window, in order to choose your preferred seat
And starting juni 15, 2017, when traveling alone, Medallion Members who are not opted in to receive automatic Delta Comfort+ upgrades will now have the ability to request a Delta Comfort+ upgrade to any available seat or only a window/aisle seat when checking in for a flight at delta.com or at an airport kiosk
*When using the seat map, Medallion Members may see First Class or Delta Comfort+® upgrades available for purchase within their eligibility window and can choose to purchase the upgrade or wait for their Complimentary Upgrade to clear, if these seats go unsold. **Seat map upgrade functions will be coming soon to the Delta-operated segments of itineraries that include both Delta-operated and partner airline-operated segments.
