Great news for regular Delta flyers such as myself. Via Delta Medallion Program Updates, beginning in the fall “Medallion members traveling with one companion will clear for Complimentary Upgrades to both First Class and Delta Comfort+™ based on the status of the higher-tiered member.” This fixes a problem that we have nearly every time we fly together as a couple, who will take the upgrade and who has to sit in ‘the back’?
Delta Big Change To Medallion Upgrades Traveling With Companion
We recently surveyed our Medallion members about our companion policy for Complimentary Upgrades, and a majority of you voted that Medallion members traveling with a companion should clear for Complimentary Upgrades based on the higher of the two status levels.
So, we’re investing in making things better. Starting this fall, Medallion members traveling with one companion will clear for Complimentary Upgrades to both First Class and Delta Comfort+™ based on the status of the higher-tiered member. Diamond and Silver traveling together? Your upgrade will clear at the Diamond level, when available.
It’s one of the many ways we’re striving to offer the best elite travel experience for our most loyal members. Be on the lookout for more details and the official start date for these changes that will be announced this summer.
- You and companion have different reservation numbers:
Your upgrade will clear based on your individual member status and confirmation window. Your companion’s will clear no sooner than 24 hours prior to the flight’s departure. - You and companion share same reservation number:
Both your upgrades will clear no sooner than 24 hours prior to the flight’s departure.
As Rene’s Points wisely points out under the new policy, ” it will make it even more important for two traveling together to be on the same PNR or reservation to be able to take advantage of this new medallion change on the way soon.”
Bottom Line
So to summarize the change, “Medallion members traveling with one companion will clear for Complimentary Upgrades to both First Class and Delta Comfort+™ based on the status of the higher-tiered member. Diamond and Silver traveling together? Your upgrade will clear at the Diamond level, when available.” I like this change for when I’m only traveling +1, how about you? When I travel with my family of 4 however, this will not work well, with only one Medallion status; I will not be able to confirm all 4 of us into Comfort+.

Itts uϲh as you learn mmy thoughtѕ! You appear to knoա so much abоut this,
such as you wrote tthe Ьook in it or something.
I feel thhat you can do with a few percent to pressure the message home a little bit, but instead оf
that, this iѕ fantastic blog. A great reaɗ.
I’ll definitely be back.
Hurrah! At last I got a weblog from where I be able to actually obtain valuable facts concerning my
study and knowledge.
The Delta Diamonds who complained the loudest got their so wanted companion charity approved yesterday, now all of the Platinum customers who were fooled & asked for this change will see their first class upgrade chances down to the bottom of the list where silver usually gets upgraded. this has already started, if you do not believe me just wait until next time you fly. So If you are platinum , good luck because a diamond with a friend, sister, aunt, uncle , co-worker whoever the Diamond is flying with on the same PNR, the customer who shows no loyalty to Delta will get an upgrade over you. Also be on the lookout for the C- game of two travelers who must sit together at all times, be upgraded, but refuse to pay for an upgrade taking the aisle & window seat in C- leaving the C- middle seat open hoping if the flight isn’t full that they will get the whole row. This is exactly the kind of customer that Delta is catering to & giving priority to. Another scam having the friend pay cash for his ticket, purchase ticket with Delta Reserve card, get extra miles, & bragging rites that you can get whoever you want first class seats for free because you are Delta’s most valued customer. If Delta was making this change to please families traveling together they would of limited the upgrades to families only. So if you are Platinum, Gold, or Silver Delta really don’t care if you go elsewhere because you are not a valued customer & expendable , IMHO

tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
Kudos!
