I Built This Because I Was Tired of Checking Upgrade Prices
I had a personal trip to London coming up, and I found myself obsessively checking the Delta app multiple times a day."Did the upgrade price drop? Is there availability now?" Refresh, refresh, refresh.
Then it hit me: I'm a system architect—I automate business processes all day. Why am I manually checking flight prices like it's 1995?
So I built a tool to do the obsessive checking for me.
Now you can use it too.
Here's How We Fix This Annoying Problem
Three simple steps. Zero obsessive checking required.
Tell Us About Your Flight
Just give us the basics:
- • Your Delta confirmation number
- • Your name (as it appears on the booking)
That's it. Takes 30 seconds.
We Do the Obsessive Checking
Remember how you used to check upgrade prices multiple times a day? We do that now. Every 30 minutes. Even at 3 AM. Even when you're busy living your life.
Get Instant Deal Alerts
Found a deal? You'll know within minutes. No more wondering "what if I had checked yesterday?"
Example: That $1,200 business class upgrade just dropped to $300. We caught it. You get the alert. You decide.
What Makes This Actually Useful
We Catch the Weird Stuff
Airlines have pricing glitches. Inventory suddenly opens up. Last-minute deals appear. The computer systems aren't perfect, and sometimes that works in your favor. We catch these moments.
Works While You Sleep
That amazing deal that popped up at 2 AM? We saw it. You'll wake up to a message about it. No more FOMO about what you missed.
We Know Which Planes Are Actually Worth It
Here's something most people don't realize: not all business class is created equal. A Delta One upgrade on an A330-900neo? Probably worth $500 for an 8-hour flight—you're getting one of the best suites in the sky.
The same $500 on a regular A330-300 for the same route? Not so much. I know that the LATAM-configured A350 has a 2-2-2 layout with no privacy (great for couples, terrible for solo travelers). This knowledge is built into MyAtlasPal.
Built by Someone Who Actually Lives This
I'm not some generic price tracker built by people who've never been on a plane. I'm a system architect who flies 80% long-haul international routes. I spend most of my professional life in premium cabins (company dime), but when I'm paying personally, I'm way more careful with money.
I built this because I got tired of manually checking my own upgrade prices. If it's useful to me, it's probably useful to the Delta Reddit community and anyone else who doesn't want to obsessively refresh their phone.
The Kind of Deals We Catch
The Pricing Glitch
Upgrades that normally cost 75,000 SkyMiles suddenly show up for 15,000 miles. System error? Maybe. Your savings? Definitely real.
The 3 AM Drop
Business class upgrades from $1,800 to $350 while you're sleeping. We catch it, you wake up to an alert, you decide if you want it.
The Last-Minute Release
Airlines suddenly release premium inventory they were holding back. What was "unavailable" yesterday is now $400 today.
The Questions Everyone Asks
Does this actually work?
Yes. We're pulling the same data you see when you check manually, just doing it automatically and way more often than any human would.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. It's free. We keep costs low by being smart about how we built it.
What if I have elite status?
Great! This works alongside your status benefits. If you get complimentary upgrades, awesome. If not, we'll help you find reasonable paid ones.
How fast do I hear about deals?
Usually within a few minutes of the price changing. Our system checks every 30 minutes, so the longest you'd wait is that.
Can I track multiple flights?
Yes. Add as many as you want. Each one gets watched separately.
The Bottom Line
I got tired of manually checking upgrade prices, so I automated it. Turns out other people have the same problem.
I spend time on the Delta subreddit and see people constantly sharing screenshots of crazy upgrade prices—both the expensive ones and the surprising deals. This tool catches those deals automatically.
I want to keep this free as long as hosting costs stay reasonable. This knowledge shouldn't be locked behind elite status or aviation obsession.
Still Not Sure?
Think about how much time you've spent refreshing the Delta app, checking upgrade prices, wondering if you should wait or book now.
Now imagine never having to do that again, but still catching every deal.
That's what this does.
Yeah, Set This UpMyAtlasPal • Because obsessively checking flight prices is our job, not yours.
