Unfamiliar with Delta, trying to lend a hand to my mother-in-law who is Delta Medallion. I assume she has Global Upgrade Certs (hasn't used any yet), so looking at a roundtrip ticket SEA-CDG. Business class seems small on the A330. 15/29 on Business look available on the outbound. Only 9/28 look available in Premium Select.
Is this going to be a really tough upgrade to clear? Purchasing Premium Select seems like a a must-do, even though the cash rate is $3,632. I imagine many (if not all?) Premium Select will be trying to upgrade. This is for ~mid-June so we are about 6-7 weeks away.
One alternative: if the upgrade looks very unlikely, I suppose she could downgrade to regular Economy then take the credit in the days running up the flight? Thanks in advance for any tips!
