The SkyTeam Global Alliance is pleased to provide you with SkyTeam Mileage Upgrades, which deliver even more of the seamless service that you've come to expect. Now as a SkyTeam Frequent Flyer, you may use your miles to upgrade to Business Class on international flight itineraries on any participating SkyTeam member airline. Alitalia is not participating at this time.

Follow these three simple steps to confirm your upgrade:

1. Purchase an international, published, full fare Economy Class reservation on any SkyTeam member airline. The flight must be marketed and operated by the same SkyTeam carrier, as code-share flights are not permitted.
2. Call 1-800-44PERKS (1-800-447-3757) at least three days prior to departure. The Northwest agent will verify eligibility and confirm the upgrade if seats are available. Refer to the SkyMiles award chart for upgrade pricing.
3. Relax and arrive at the airport ready to enjoy the benefits of your upgrade including an additional luggage allowance, priority services and lounge access.

Check eligibility of your purchased itinerary using the chart below:
