You guys and gals are also forgetting that starting in '04 you need 15K miles each way to upgrade domestically compared to 10K.

So, if you buy a ticket and 30K miles you get an upgrade? For 25K miles you get a free coach ticket. So, for your ticket price + 5K miles you get FC.

I just think they are gouging you on miles.

even better deal...redeem a standard domestic coach award on NW, and you will be upgraded according to your elite status...then CO can put their $fare$+30K OPmiles where the sun don't shine.
