I have had many legs where even though I am a Silver Elite with Continental, NWA, I didn't get the complimentary upgrade. I assume this is because it was an ID50 fare.
Funny thing about ID50's, they aren't cheap! I can often beat an ID50 fare on Orbitz provided I have better than two weeks notice... I know... I know...
