Also for anyone wondering, the 2nd person flying free is WELL worth it. I expected NCL to go cheap and book us on the return from London via Icelandair through Iceland or Aeirlingus through Dublin. Here is the value of what we got when I paid for NCL's free air package of $1178 for two people. (pricing below is what I would have paid if I had purchased on my own) Spokane to JFK (via SEA) for $250 pp/one-way main cabin. The return is LHR direct to SEA (10.5 hrs) and then connect into GEG for...wait for it...$1588 pp/one-way. A. Only one stop (which I love), and booking on my own would have been (for the same flights) $1800 PER PERSON, and I paid $1178 total. Saved $2422 on flights. Now I could have gone with Condor or a budget airline, but would have had at least one more stop, (Germany, Iceland, Ireland, NYC etc.) I see $900 returns from London with extra stops in the ultra-economy sections (no bags, no pre-chosen seats, no meals etc.). Even with that, total price is hovering around $2500 and I paid $1178 with bags included. (and seats). Right now I am pretty happy with NCL's air package.

I just spoke with Delta, and this can be tricky. Delta would NOT upgrade us, because untangling the reservation 'could' cause other parts of the reservation to go haywire. (Alaska on outbound-Delta/Virgin on return). I will be calling the flight desk for NCL during the week to see if we can at least get comfort class, on the return. Alaska was easy to upgrade on the outbound. (for a fee) We will see what Delta/NCL/Virgin will do for us and I will update.
