The class exceptions for IT mentioned earlier are taken from the upgrade vouchers section where rules are similar to 9W.

UPG on miles allows almost all low fares except for few promotional fares. On DEL-LHR the lowest NPROMO fare also is eligible for upgrade

17 Members can request for King Miles upgrade in the name of any person of the Member's choice. On both domestic and international sectors, this offer can be availed on tickets issued all classes except the following: X, R,P and G.

9W keeps losing its loyalty with the way its going. I know what you mean about confo's on BRU-EWR-BRU.

Keyser, you just got a new option: use IT miles for MXP-JFK on AA.

i have considered this but the only problem here is that aa classifies their business class on this route as business/first & kingfisher required 3x miles for redemption on this route....:td::td:
