I just used miles for a Business/First award from IAH - MCO - LGW. The MCO - LGW leg is on a Virgin Atlantic codeshare (CO 8248) and it's booked in G class. When choosing the flight it showed the class as "Upper Class (G)" but then when choosing seats it showed the economy cabin.

Here's a screenshot of the relevant part of the confirmation:

Now I'm trying to figure out if I got Upper Class or Economy and I'm confused based on the following posts:

What did I get? If this is a bug, Continental really ought to fix it before causing more cases of blue balls!
