[travalguide]

[{ +1-888-711-7298 }] If you're trying to get on the Delta upgrade list, ensure your SkyMiles number is attached to your booking. Elite Medallion members are automatically considered based on their status, fare class, and time of check-in. [{ +1-888-711-7298 }]


Delta Upgrades & Eligibility
You cannot directly give your Delta upgrade to someone else unless you're booking on their behalf using your SkyMiles account and available upgrade certificates. Delta’s Global and Regional Upgrade Certificates can be added to a reservation even after booking through the “My Trips” section or by calling [{ +1-888-711-7298 }] . Upgrades prioritize Medallion status, followed by fare class, and booking time.


How Does Delta Choose Who Gets Upgraded?
Delta uses a hierarchy: Diamond Medallion members rank highest, followed by Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Within each tier, the fare class and time of check-in matter. Adding an upgrade certificate improves your chances significantly. [{ +1-888-711-7298 }]


Can I Change or Update My Name with Delta?
Yes, but there are restrictions. Minor name corrections are allowed, such as fixing typos or legal name changes. For ticketed name changes, contact [{ +1-888-711-7298 }] . Full transfers are not allowed unless specific exceptions apply. To update your Delta SkyMiles profile, log in and go to the “Profile” section under your account.


Can You Use Someone Else’s Upgrade Certificate?
No, unless you’re traveling on the same itinerary or the certificate holder is booking the ticket. Delta strictly enforces upgrade ownership.


Will Delta Upgrade You If You Ask?
Asking politely never hurts, especially at check-in or the gate. However, complimentary upgrades are usually processed automatically based on loyalty status, not requests. [{ +1-888-711-7298 }]


Best Time to Book Delta Flights & Save Money
Tuesdays and Wednesdays often yield the cheapest fares. Delta doesn’t offer traditional senior discounts, but prices fluctuate based on demand and timing. Upgrading at the airport can occasionally be cheaper, but availability is limited.
