We pay through the nose for international travel, there&#39;s just no bones about that - (which is why I can&#39;t WAIT for the Delta model of non rev travel to be the norm).

For example - to fly from SEA to LHR in C on NW - 500$ - yep, 500$ - Coach is $350. I found that I could fly confirmed from LHR to DUB for 60$, then home on Delta for less than 30$.


You probably COULD get an upgrade, but you&#39;ll pay... [/b]

Our travel is free in coach. The fees are for taxes and The UK is notoriously high.
For me to fly IND-DTW-LHR roundtrip in coach is $120 and in business it is about $415.
A trip to CDG would only cost me about $60 in coach and a trip to NRT is even less at about $36

Now, I look forward to the DL model also for the free upgrades and more destinations but I imagine they pay Intl. taxes on their flights too.
