As far as what your TA told you about upgrades... you are able to upgrade a C or D ticket to first class (which actually puts you in NF class..and this should also show in My Itineraries) with miles or a systemwide upgrade. There is no "automatic" upgrade that happens for free unless you get lucky at the airport with an operational upgrade. Did your TA use miles for this?
When I go to "my itineraries" I am told there are no itineraries for me and I should check with whoever I bought my travel from.
The upgrade was, according to the TA, a special - buy full-fare C, get free upgrade to F. But all I have is her word on it. She was right the last time I did this (on AA) but that time the ticket came with a paper UG certificate. Not this one.
Guess I'll just have to wing it.
