Stewart, a Diamond Medallion member on Delta, was upgraded to first class for the trip from Hartford to Atlanta because of her status on the airline. “It’s by no means a great way for us to travel that way with a game on Tuesday and then another game Thursday.” I tried to get upgraded to first class to have more room but the flight was full,” said Jones, who had to duck to even get on the plane.
