Delta folks - Looking to upgrade my in-laws on their flight from Madrid to Atlanta using miles. How many would I need and is it worth it?

The worth-it part, it all depends how much you love your in-laws and how much you're trying to impress them. I think you personally be the judge of that.

For me, the upgrade is worth it for those long flights. Less stress, more food. Not sure how many points, but I'd just pay it personally

^I haven't flown Delta, so I don't know what their service is like and if their Biz class is all that great.

Madrid to ATL is most likely 100-150K per ticket. If you've already purchased tickets using miles you can't use a global upgrade

Why upgrade inlaws?

Cost depends how you bought the ticket (cash, miles) and the fare of the ticket. Call delta for specifics

Depends on the fare class and if it's upgrade eligible (very few tickets are upgrade eligible). If it's an upgrade eligible ticket, then I think it can be anywhere from 40-75k per ticket.

You realize there is a Delta website where you could look this up and get an exact answer...?

That's a personal call, like A1 said.

Always, but how other people value it also helps you make the assessment...

the miles are a lot to upgrade.

Google

Thanks for the input. I don't have any status with Delta nor have any upgrade certificates... so hoping to do via a buy-up or with miles.
