Upgrading an International fare paid by 3rd party
If I have another party in China purchasing a ticket for me, (to China or HKG) and they choose a lower fare class than what I need - so that I have a fare upgradeable with either miles or GPU (have to get used to this new term) is it possible to contact the 1K (or whatever their new name is) desk and cancel and apply the ticket to a higher fare class, with me paying the difference?
Or any suggestions as to how to handle this sort of booking
