Does anyone know what the fare basis is for upgrades offered at ticketing for international flights.
Specifically, I'm trying to figure out if on a paid upgrade at ticketing a) you get the bonus EQM, and b) can you then apply a SWU and UG into F.
I believe that you get kicked up to a true business-class fare bucket, get the EQM bonus, AND could upgrade to F from C via an SWU. I have had all this happen on domestic flights (got the bonus EQMs and was upgraded to F from C on a three-class 777, which could not have happened had I CPUd into the C seat).
I'm sure someone will answer definitively regarding international flights shortly...
