Upgrade on KLM flights possible?
I'm flying on a Northwest ticketed, Y-class fare through Amsterdam to Jo'burg. Any chance of an upgrade on KLM with Silver Elite status?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If its indeed a Y fare full price coach ticket (not just a coach ticket in some other class of booking), you can upgrade for 15000 miles one way from the US to AMS, 30000 roundtrip, provided there are seats available in the upgrade bucket. Not sure about specifics on AMS-Africa portion. Call the airline to check. If not, op-ups are VERY rare for Silvers, i wouldn't hold my breath.
