Is the low-medium-high award upgrade priority published somewhere? I guess there are different inventory buckets that DL sees, but I would think of 25K versus 32.5K versus 40K miles, etc. for a domestic coach award ticket as being the analogue of paying different amounts of money for tickets in the same fare class. Also, would the 32,500 miles RT be between 25,000 and 40,000 upgrade priority in both directions or would it be considered the same as the 25,000 in one direction and the 40,000 in the other?
