As she drove to the airport she looked at her boarding pass and it showed her seat as 17L in business class. The boarding pass still said premium plus but her seat was in Polaris on the plane.

So a double upgrade on a mileage award ticket.
Strange things can happen when you do a buy-up. I remember a buy-up from coach to business and getting an OPUP to first
