Mom asks Delta crew for free business-class upgrade for her son
Original: A mom asked for a free business-class upgrade for her son. The Delta flight attendant nailed the response
A mother travelling on Delta asked a flight attendant whether her son could be moved up to business class at no charge, and the crew member's reply has been widely shared. The exchange, recounted in a Yahoo Creators piece, is being praised as a tactful way to decline a request airlines rarely grant, since upgrades are tied to fare class, loyalty status or paid offers rather than polite asks.
Why now: The flight attendant's gracious refusal struck a chord with travellers familiar with upgrade etiquette debates.
