I will call NW first before I book the B fare online just to make sure I can use mileage to upgrade right after I buy the tickets (for my travel dates). I am looking for upgrade to WBC. I am very tall and really can't see myself fit in coach on a 14 hour flight to China.
Well, there is a checkbox that says, "Worldperks Mileage Upgrade", so make sure that is checked. I
think it only shows you fares that are upgradeable. Pricing will be quite a bit higher than standard coach, but you will get what you need, and it will show you the amount of miles needed.
One important thing to remember, as well, is that NWA often has some nice Z fares (if purchased fare enough in advance, 50 days, maybe?) out of the west coast. Often times quite close to the upgradeable fare price.
Someone also posted yesterday of a EWR-HKG direct flight on CO in Biz for $2700 and some change.
