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....
....the answer is Mileage Plus. But alas, with the merger coming, I fear Mileage Plus may look like OnePass, which, well, for the Int'l traveler, is not much better than Skymiles.
