Q1. Do they ever upgrade elite members on international flights like they do domestic flights?

Q2. If I go with the mileage upgrade option what is the deal on an M fare? Seems like 15,000 miles + $250 each way which seems like a bit of a rip-off
1. Elite upgrades are not offered on flights marketed as BusinessFirst.

2. That's pretty standard for the copay+miles option. The copay would be quite a bit more if you were on a lower fare class.
