Thanks for the suggestion - that improves the situation slightly. Unfortunately the El Cheapo's on Delta are almost exactly the price of first on American. The cost to upgrade on Delta is over 800 per ticket. The sky pesos price drops to 75000 per ticket (450,000) for 6 tickets and $4800 to upgrade. FCM Obviously does not make it to these flights.
