I've flown on DL and NW metal on award tickets in the past 6 months, and each time asked (in vain) about upgrades only to be flatly told that my tickets were not eligible.
Beats me. I didn't approach anyone. What seriously surprised me was the companion upgrade on the award ticket. That's never been automagic like it was on this trip.
