Yet another example of why I never buy an M fare unless the Z upgrade is available at time of purchase and why I always ask for the ticket to be reissued at the time of purchase.
Well, I can only guess that they were properly coded: Z was waitlisted as a separate line before the confirmed flight, the DM upgrade was listed as usual to the right of the confirmed flight on the domestic portion.
There are no comp UG on a TATL as far as I know, I was referring to the domestic "feeder" portion (and I got the domestic upgrade).
Yeah, it was even higher than M, BEERT9, I think, the fully changeable/refundable B fare. A ticket I got a while ago and changed a few times. I would prefer not to buy a YBM either unless Z is confirmed right away, but sometime you have to do what you have to do, no choice.
