I bought a ticket about 7 hours ago for SEA-BWI on Weds. Tonight would be the first night for EUA if they upgrade me 6 days out.
Sure enough, I was upgraded on one leg but not the other (yet...). If you go through www.nwa.com/travel/itinerary, it says I'm in first for the one leg. If you go via 'My Info' it shows the F.C. seat assignment but says coach. That must be what is driving the seat map that comes up because the coach map is coming up for both segments, even though I'm in first on one of them.
Bloody system upgraded me to an aisle again - DAMN. I like the window and now I can't choose it until I check in Tuesday or the problem gets fixed. It's not worth calling them IMO.

I just recieved a e-mail from NW. The reason behind all of this is due to the new and improved "R" class designation.
Should be interesting......

Yeah, I think we've figured out by now it's because of R. Continental had the same issues when they changed to 'R'.
A further update on what I posted last night...under .../travel/itinerary, my class of service now shows "First (R)"....but under My Info, it still says coach.
I just had the ticket reissued because the fare dropped $45. They had to cancel the first ticket and reissue it. I was still able to keep the same seat assignments for now.
