They will upgrade on ANY route if it means getting all revenue pax on. An easy way to remember what destinations are not eligible for free upgrades is that if the aircraft has BusinessFirst there are no free upgrades. If it's just First Class i.e. Mexico, Canada then they will do upgrades. A few South American cities are eligible for upgrades excluding GIG, GRU and EGE.
Bottom line...if it has BusinessFirst then as a revenue pax you must pay to get it unless the back is oversold and at that point they upgrade by Elite level and then non-revs.
