marshall200 is correct though, you will need a B or higher fare to upgrade, but on the plus side you will not have to pay any BF upgrade fees as you are used to with CO

most likely your flight is a NW/KL codeshare, may i suggest in the future trying to book a NW ticket (B class or higher again)and upgrading from there, i feel CO reps are more comfortable with the NW rules and processes
