Just thought I share my recent dumb moment. I was recently in Los Angeles for some training with work. At the end of my training I decided to visit a friend in Seattle, as I was close to platinum I decided to book first class as the extra status credits would get me up the next level.
Not knowing how long it would take from work to the airport I booked a late flight. The day finally arrived and I ended up at the airport quite early. While checking in I though I may as see if there was an earlier flight. I had a newbie on the front counter so after 20mins he finally said no worries. Jumped on my flight and enjoyed the front of the plane. Fast forward a week and the points and status credits come through and they are only honoured as discount economy.... fail! After chasing it around in circles for a few days it would appear all though booked first class and flew first class according to delta I was in economy... turns out it was the most expensive discount economy I have ever had
