I flew to NRT on NW with a zed in January. Got upgraded to WBC, but then again I was wearing a three piece suit (long story) as opposed to business casual. I didn&#39;t even ask if it was available because of what I&#39;ve heard about NW&#39;s upgrading policy. I was very pleasantly surprised when I found my seat on board.

Conversely, I&#39;ve heard that AA is much more generous about upgrading non-revs. I don&#39;t have any personal experience, as I&#39;ve only used a zed on AA for domestic routes where first had been full. The last time I took them I was actually on my way back from NRT, and due to a crazy routing ended up with AA. That was an interesting day!

I would love to take JL to experience the service, but unfortunately US only has an ID75 agreement with them I believe. Too expensive.[/b]
Hmmm i normally wear a suit too.... but not as far as 3 piece It gets you some odd looks when you end up in coach on a 14hr transpac flight

I&#39;ve also only travelled on AA domestically, but I have to say their staff have always been so nice to me.
