Every time I've purchased a full Y fare, I've gotten an automatic upgrade to FC. If it doesn't happen automatically (I usually ask our travel agent to confirm it with Continental), I go to co.com and lookup my confirmation number. There should be a button to process the upgrade. Make sure you do it more than 5 days before your flight so you'll be sure to get your upgrade before the automatic elite upgrade runs. I've also called the elite line and had them move me up to FC as well.</font>
He's not elite.
