Xeno, there is nothing in the new announcement that helps international flyers. The upgrades don't apply to international flights. As someone who makes a lot of LUT flights over the water, I would have loved to have them be counted for full value but unfortunately that is not to be.
Still, I have to admit that for most Delta medallion members today is definitely a brighter one.</font>
So this is actually a net loss for international travel since, as this thread shows, we will not be getting bonus miles with the old-new chart.
