Todd:

I used 40K miles for an upgrade on the JFK-SVO run last Summer (consistent with the rules at the time). Believe me, you *want* to fly biz on Fl #30, even if they do stick you for 40K.

If this is your first trip to Russia and you have any questions about SVO/Immigration/Customs, feel free to drop me a line at [email protected]

Regards,

O/H

I'm looking at going to Russia later this year, and glad I found this !

I talked to the Skymiles Desk last night and specifically asked about upgradeable, fully-refundable tickets. Ticket was $2100, plus the 40,000 miles (which looks like it should be 20,000 miles).

Anyone know if Delta will consider Russia to be something OTHER than Europe ?</font>
