On DL you are not able to use miles to upgrade to business class (DL does not offer IFC) on international long haul routes without spending thousands of additional dollars. The requirement is an M fare to even wait list for the upgrade and these tend to cost $3-6K RT for most routes. No book will change this rule if you wish to use DL miles or DL aircraft.
