I have called Delta on the Elite line and mentioned the Y-0 fare and requested to be upgraded and they have been upgraded on the spot if seats are available. There is no need to wait for the elite upgrade. Call and you will be upgraded once the reservation is "ticketed" or paid for is a better choice of words.
Where do you find the info about the fare class on our tickets? I looked at my Delta reservation and didn't see it on either the company email record or the Delta web site.
