No not what you are thinking, LOL!

Here is a cheat sheet from the WSJ that you can print and cut out.



I suggest making any confirmed upgrades for next year now before the rates change.

The AA info is slightly outdated. You can now upgrade all the fares.

A nicer-looking gif of the above chart, as well as the accompanying blog post:

Since it's on the Middle Seat blog, no wsj subscription is required.

it's called miles plus co-pay. on AA this may be as much as $350 each way. sure makes the SWU's that much more valuable.
