I have never flown first class before. Always wanted to at least give it a try. Back in April of this year, I booked my flight to see friends over the holidays in December. Back in April, the first class seats were being sold for only about $150 more than economy seats. So I booked first class.
Now that my flight is only about 3 weeks away, I was curious as to how much the first class tickets were. Delta says there are 3 first class seats available for $1500 each. But when I click on the seat map, all of the first class seats are taken.
I don't have any special status with Delta. Will I be downgraded back to economy? Is there any compensation if I'm?
I've been looking forward to experiencing this flight for months just to cross it off my bucket list. I would hate to be sent to the back of the plane, especially after paying extra to sit up front.
Added (1). Maybe I wasn't clear, but there are 12 first class seats on this A319 aircraft. All 12 seats are taken… And they are still selling 3 more seats. How can they sell 15 seats if only 12 seats exist?
