NWA allows upgrades from Full Fare economy (Y or YEERT) into Z class (which typically has some availability) whereas std upgrades come from NWA's I class.
Does Continental have a more liberal upgrade class open up if you buy a Full fare ticket too?
Not in any stretch of the imaginations - this is one of the largest complaints of OnePass members. Beyond the Carribean and Mexico, CO's international upgrades policy stinks. Granted there is the occassional fluke, but typically an international upgrade is about $400 plus miles.
