I'm leaving my booking a bit late for my upcoming US trip. I have the following options:
Delta 777 SYD-LAX on my preferred date
or
VA 777 SYD-LAX the day before.
These will be discount economy seats and I'm a Velocity Platinum. Should I pick the codeshare flight on the day I want, or is it worth going a day early just to get the VA 777 product? Will I get better treatment on the VA metal flight, or will I get put in the Delta Comfort Plus seats as a platinum member? Upgrade potentials? The third option is AirNZ but it is $500 more.
Opinions?
