Yes, it can be redeemed on cheaper fares, but you basically get ONE (yes, ONE) ONE-WAY (not even roundtrip) upgrade across the Pond....
Want to use miles to redeem an upgrade? Try 50,000 miles ONE-WAY for a Europe-USA upgrade from discount Y to Business. Yes, that's twice the Delta mileage for a one-way transatlantic upgrade.
Cheap, easy, and frequent long-haul upgrades? Miles N' More is not the answer....
Yes it is not perfect, but it is a better product, and it is still less expensive. Also if I am basically paying for a Discounted Business Class seat - LH has a very nice product.
I will add that they do a fair amount of courtesy upgrades.
My post is to DL - letting them know what it is that would bring this high dollar and high volume ff back
