![]() ![]() After answering questions about my trip and having my carry ons rifled, I boarded the aircraft at 12:35 through the second boarding door on the port side.įlight attendants greeted passengers at the door and directed them to their assigned seats. However, I was one of the “lucky’ ones selected for additional screening on a “random” basis. AMS no longer screens everyone at the gate. Delta has said it will add the D1 Suite to existing A330s by 2021.īoarding had begun when I arrived. The A350s and A330Neos come with Delta One Suites. That reputation is changing somewhat as over the next several years Delta will be acquiring new A220s, A330Neos, A321s, and more A350s (notice a pattern there). Delta has been known as an airline that likes to refurbish used aircraft rather than pay high prices for new ones. That makes the A330 one of the younger models in Delta’s fleet. Delta A330s average just under 12 years of age. The equipment for this flight was an A330-300. That was a 10-minute walk from the KLM Crown Lounge 52 which is undergoing a very successful lounge makeover.

Without checking in the waiting list does not display on the Delta app. Things got off to a bad start in Berlin when I was unable to check in for the flight from Atlanta to Dallas. I was upgraded on the transatlantic flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta but not the flights from Berlin to Amsterdam and Atlanta to Dallas. That is why it was so frustrating when Delta screwed up the application of the GUC used on the return flights. Having no more than four GUCs per year means it is important to get the most value out of each one. ![]() Purchasing a business-class ticket on Delta for this trip typically costs $5,500 – $7,000. I used two GUCs to upgrade a $613 roundtrip ticket from Dallas,TX to Berlin, Germany from economy to business class. Any GUC not used with 12 months of issue, expires. A Diamond Medallion receives no more than four GUCs per year. Each GUC allows a one-way upgrade of any coach fare (except basic economy) to business class. GUCs are available only to Diamond Medallions, officially the program’s top tier (not counting invitation only Delta 360 status). ![]() Global Upgrade Certificates (GUCs) are arguably the best perk of the Delta Skymiles Program. ![]()
