Yeah, that is a good suggestion to pass on to everyone. I have seen it plenty of times at Northwest when looking for international business class that the "coach + miles upgrade" ticket price (their Y or B) is more $ than buying a business class ticket outright (Z fare). I think that is just plain silly.
In this case, the coach ticket price is $233 (all-in) vs. the 1st class ticket price of $333 (all-in). Is the extra $100 worth it to me for an hour long flight? Nope... But a free upgrade is
