I've asked about upgrading economy class tix in the past, but the problem I had was that mine were DL codeshare tix, meaning I had to rebook to Business Class with DL.
I'll be flying KE (paid C class but bought under DL codeshare, KE metal) BKK-ICN-JFK next week, and it sounds like I'll have to stay in C, huh--since DL doesn't sell F at all on international?
Oh well....I was hoping to ask the difference between C/F on either of these routes (BKK-ICN or ICN-JFK) and hope for a buy-up.
I know C class is fine, and actually I've never flown KE, so it'll be interesting!
