I fly Delta quite a bit, Gold Medallion. When I make reservations online I actually select my seats prior to paying/completing the transaction! If I cannot get an aisle, I may select another flight. Also, when I check in at the Kiosk, I check to see if there are any other better seats available. If I am stuck with a middle seat, I go to the gate 1 hr prior to departure and ask very nicely for a better seat, key is to be VERY nice! They always have seats available that even the people that check you in cannot see. If I dont get an upgrade, I usually will get a better seat vacated by someone that DID get an upgrade. I am happy to help if you need any.
