To play with the big boys of fliers you always check what class you're booked in.

Only full fare tickets are upgradable (as a general rule of thumb, there are exceptions) so whatever class you book, economy, business or first, make sure that it's a full fare ticket. Discounted seats are sorted out by having other fare codes. Airlines are not stupid, it's a business. Just like people here lure surfers to sign up, airlines lure customers into thinking the can get a first class seat by purchasing a discounted economy ticket and then use some miles to upgrade. It's all about getting every last dollar worth out of you as a customer.
