Hi all - longtime lurker here. Wondering if the FT experts can shed some light on 2 questions. My fiance's father (DL Diamond) has generously gifted us Delta miles for our honeymoon. Our itinerary is currently:
PDX - JFK (N fare)
JFK - CDG (O fare)
Return:
CDG to JFK (O fare)
JFK - PDX (N fare)
We'd love to look into using our own AS miles (I'm a measly MVP) or cash to upgrade the JFK/PDX legs. However, as I understand the N fare restrictions, coach is only upgradeable for Diamond/Plat/Gold members. As non-elites, is it possible to upgrade given that the reservation was made through a Diamond?
And secondly, assuming this is NOT possible, will we be able to use our CDG-JFK business class boarding pass to access the Delta lounge at JFK (even though we are continuing on in economy)?
Thanks a million in advance!
