[QUOTE="Animal02, post: 613738, member: 347"] I fly a lot......as in about 200 segments a year, mostly on Delta. I run into these similar situations all the time.....it is incredibly frustrating. In Des Moine IA.....got done with the job early. I had booked a late flight out, connection through ATL and getting back to DTW at 12:30 am. I booked this late so the RT ticket was almost $900. I got upgraded to First class for all legs since the ticket price was high and I am Diamond level. Now there happens to be two direct flights back to DTW one a 2 and one at 4:30.....each will have empty seats.....Delta would want almost $300 additional....to fly in the back of the plane, leaving them the possibility to sell two upgrades ( or upgrade another frequent flyer). Once those planes depart with empty seats, that money is lost forever. Freeing up later seats allows the possibly of selling them at the last minute. And airlines wonder why people hate the airlines.
