I'm pretty sure that you can only use miles to upgrade on NWA, Continental, and KLM only. So the answer to your question of upgrading on Alitalia is "no." Also a "b" fare on Alitalia might not be equivalent to NW's "b" fare...but that's a moot point.

Sad but true. UG using miles is only possible on NW, KL and CO.

anwered my own question. got one more. if i buy a flight on continental.com and its operated by nwa. can i call nwa and use my miles to upgrade? i wish my miles were on co they only charge 40000 to upgrade. and the flight is cheaper than nwa.
