Instant upgrades for all Y tickets (ordered by status - GS, 1K, 0P, 1P, 2P)
Instant upgrades for all B tickets (ordered by status - GS, 1K, 0P, 1P, 2P)
Instant upgrades for all M tickets (ordered by status - GS and 1K only)
Yep!

Good question - I bet you could infer from the mileage earning pages for PMUA/PMCO:

http://www.continental.com/CMS/en-US...ntinental.aspx

J, C, D, Z (for BusinessFirst -> GlobalFirst upgrades, only GPUs/RPUs on Z)
Y, B, M, E, U, H, Q, V, W, S, T, L, K, G
