I took 66 Delta flights last year and flew in all the cabin categories, but there are a few reasons I still prefer booking the cheapest economy seats.

I paid $1,100 to upgrade my flight to upper class. It was great, but a few drawbacks made me hesitant to splurge again.

I flew premium economy on my long-haul Emirates flight. It was cheaper than flying coach at a better time and way nicer.
