Baggage fee / one leg business question

Flying LAS - MSP then MSP-YWG.

If I purchase an upgrade to business class for the second flight will that allow free baggage allowance when checking in at LAS even though my first leg is economy?
Thanks very much

Technically no. You're not upgrading to F. You're simply paying a seat assignment fee to sit in F using your Y ticket.

However, IRL you get it.

Agree this is technically true, but doesn't the ticket see the F segment and apply the F rules to the entire itin that day?

As an elite, if we get upgraded on 1 segment, you get F baggage allowance for all segments... assume this is the same?

This is why I stated the IRL section. The system will see you sitting in F and apply it. However technically the fee is only to sit in seat in the cabin.
