LX upgrades for UA 1K?

I apologize if this is already posted, I wasn't able to locate with a search.
I'm flying IAD-ZRH-TLV. UA IAD-ZRH and LX ZRH-TLV. I'm wondering if an upgrade is possible on LX for the ZRH-TLV portion. Agent told me they would upgrade at the gate if possible. How likely is that? My ticket is K class. I have UA miles but no M&M miles.
Thank you!

Completely unlikely, unless you spend some serious bucks or cash in many miles from your UA account on beforehand.

Especially on the ZRH - TLV leg everybody seems to try it and ground staff knows all the stories

No problem at all. they will be happy to sell you an upgrade for the cost of the fare difference....
