I was looking into the IAH-ANC route last night, as it would get me way over the mark and heck I would be going to AK. How bearable is the flight in a 737? CO website says it 7 hours 20 min.

I think the IAH-ANC flight normally has a stop in SEA, unless there is now seasonal service with no stops.

I think you are thinking of the DC-10's. I don't recall any 747's back in 2000, but I do remember some DC-10 still flying (we all know that a CO DC-10 was believed by some to be the reason why the AF Concorde crashed in CDG.

Any 747's that CO had were gone long before that. But don't quote me, someone who has hard information can back that up.

I should have been clearer, the ability to upgrade on any DOMESTIC fare classes using miles. Non-elites are restriced from upgrading the lower fare classes using miles while elites can upgrade any domestic fare using miles. The statement that BBT in NY made regarding fees was only for BusinessFirst cabin upgrades; domestic upgrades are free.

P.S The actual text says, "Series 0 Upgrades: Elite members may upgrade from any fare class. All other members may use miles to upgrade when flying on Y, H, K, N, or B fares."

So an elite member can get a first class upgrade on on any (domestic) flight where a reward seat is available for the price of the lowest-priced seat in coach plus the onepass miles required for the reward. Is that correct?

Almost - not necessarily lowest priced. Bulk fares are excluded.
