2. I'm not sure why you're referring to W fare class. There is no requirement you book a W fare for a miles + co-pay upgrade. That is only a requirement for using a GPU on an international flight.

+1 even deep discount G, N, and similar fares can be upgraded ... just requires more $$$ then a B fare, for example.
