Up/Down-grade on Biz OWE?
Havent had much luck searching for an answer in the forum so here it goes. 
Say I have a Business OWE ticket and would like to get on a flight that only has first or coach, would I get bumped up or down? I figured I 'm guessing I'd get bumped down but I figure I'd ask the veterans on the board just to be sure.
Thanks

If you purchase a OWE business class ticket then on flights that have three classes of service (first, business, and coach) you get business class.
If a segment or flight in your itinerary only has 2 classes of service (first/coach) then you get first class...so you get "bumped up".

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">For flights where no first or business class is available or offered, first class passengers will travel in business / economy class and business class passengers will travel in economy class. The fare for the highest class used applies and no refund will be given.
Exception for services within/between the USA and Canada where no business class is offered business class passengers may
book and travel in first class subject to availability.</font>
