Also, if you do get a comp upgrade, let it be an option in your itineraries section to upgrade your meal option at a cost.
There's a good chance that the elite with the free upgrade doesn't ahve a sLUT(XV) fare but rather has paid more for his/her ticket than the person who "paid" for FC. Compare G A P fares to Y B M.
