<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Clearly I have flown enough to know that NW can be just as stingy as CO when it comes to upgrade seats. Try upgrading the DTW-NRT runs, or pretty much any intra-Asia flight. It often proves VERY difficult, if not impossible.</font>

Do you use the galileo site to ascertain in advance if "I" seats are available before calling, booking a flight and upgrading??? I have never had a problem in getting an upgrade if I knew seats were available in the I bucket before calling. I usually fly out of JFK, and I concede that this would have to be easier than out of DTW, or MSP, since the eniter country is fighting for seats thru these hubs instead of mostly locals thru JFK.
