My fault for not mentioning that this is on a deviation. I am aware of all of the parameters that need to be met to authorize a higher class of service. However the only reason I even asked was because when I booked my ticket through global travel it was booked all in one reservation including the 36hr layover. I knew the ticket was first class on the first leg, but it wasn't until I hung up that I realized it was booked that way all the way through. Guees I should call back and make sure the second leg is booked in coach. Thanks for the replies.
