That's pretty good, I was looking at that same flight because after mid-May it goes to a newly refurb'd DL 767 with lie flat seats. Good deal that you were able to get them to use an EEP SWU on this flight!

I don't understand the difference, but essentially, she was able to book me on these flights for $614 (plus the dreaded Heathow "business class tax" of $40) and upgrade me to first class (C class) using my PU465 SWUs. (I just confirmed it on NWA.com!)
