I've got a flight with them coming up soon and when I called their call center they gave me a very reasonable quote for upgrading a Y fare to J. I wonder if they've changed their policy and if seats go unsold until the day of the flight they would make "promotions".
It's not long haul, but there was a sign up at check-in at Windhoek a few weeks back offering paid upgrades to business class.
