take a shot for every time he blinks (you will remain sober)

Funny thing is that on Delta, I'd rather stay in Comfort+ and have an empty seat next to me (which is a lot of the time) than be seated in 1st class which is invariably packed to the gills.

Nice

[@pinapeters770]

Where and how do you purchase discount business class seats?

[@LuisVega-ze8xy]

I have a flight coming up! One is comfort + then lay over then first class what are my chances to first class all the way

[@justingrodin3070]

If I have Platinum status but my wife does not but we are on the same reservation, will we both be upgraded or just me?

[@Ricocase]

What if you purchase through an agency/site? Are you upgraded just by showing card (but booking with amexp)?

[@bens1221sop]

I'll never get upgraded.
