Hi Ben, huge fan of your work. I have a pretty decent business trip coming up next week, starting Sydney, New Orleans, Orlando and then a couple of stops in California before flying home. 2 questions if I can.
1) the whole trip / fare is business or first, apart from a delta flight from orlando through SLC and then to Burbank, all economy, can you add baggage prior or just at the check in? And should I ask for an upgrade, are they purchase able?
2) favourite airport in the US? I might get lucky.
If you around would be great to catch you for a coffee, I work for Disney, so travel quite a bit from AUS?
Cheers
David

[USER=1999]@Davedave[/USER], Delta regularly offers the opportunity to upgrade via the app or the website. I would check your reservation regularly to see offers. I would not count on being upgraded for free at the airport, especially if you do not have status. Good luck!

AA does have paid upgrades sometimes – I’ve been offered it during check-in on the app and at an airport kiosk. Ultimately, I decided against it since it was $90 for a 2 hour flight from ORD to LGA on a 738.

yes they do have LFBU upgrades, but those are much more rare in my experience than upgrades on DL and UA. Also AA’s are only at check-in
