Upgrading Your Seat on Delta at Check-In
Many travelers wonder if there's a way to score a better seat on their flight without paying full price. If you're flying with Delta, you can sometimes upgrade your seat at check-in—if there's availability. These last-minute upgrades often come at a discounted rate compared to pre-purchase options.

For more details on what you might expect to pay for an upgrade, check out this Quora discussion:
 
Delta's seat upgrade fees at check-in depend on your route, cabin class, and seat availability. For example, upgrading to Delta Comfort+ may cost between $50 and $150 on domestic flights, while upgrading to Delta One on international routes can range from $500 to over $1,000
 
Delta often presents upgrade offers during the online check-in process, typically 24 hours before departure. These offers can be accepted via the Delta app or website and may include options like Comfort+ or Delta One, depending on seat availability and your fare class
 
Upgrading to premium cabins such as Delta One can be expensive. For instance, a Reddit user reported being quoted $1,700 for a Delta One upgrade on a flight from Boston to Amsterdam . Prices vary based on route, demand, and seat availability
 
Delta Medallion members receive priority for complimentary upgrades. If an upgrade is not available at check-in, they may be placed on a standby list and upgraded based on availability and clearance priority .
 
Once you check in and decline an upgrade offer, it is generally not available again, even if you uncheck and recheck in. Therefore, it's advisable to consider the offer carefully before declining.
 
If you accept an upgrade offer, the associated cost is non-refundable, even if you later decide not to use the upgraded seat. It's important to be certain about your decision before accepting an upgrade offer
